(image source) Every once in a while I have these weeks when it seems like so much gets crammed into my life.  They’re the weeks when emotional stuff hits the fan, when other people suddenly pop up and need something from me, and when I start to get into a tizzy about life and the [...]

What I Learned in 80 Miles (Running and Recovery)

March 2, 2013

“I just don’t like running.” That was what I used to tell other people and myself about running and exercise in general.  The truth is, what I really didn’t like was feeling “bad” at it.  And by “bad,” I mean slow, out of breath, and out of shape. Exercise came with a lot of shame [...]

The Myth of “Not Sick Enough” (a NEDA week post)

February 26, 2013

By a landslide, the most popular post I’ve ever written is What Nobody Tells You About an Eating Disorder. I remember when I wrote it last year I had kind of let NEDA week slip by me.  I guess that’s what happens when you’re busy writing a thesis and enjoying life outside of an eating [...]

Exercise and Emotions: Fighting Fat Talk & Reframing Negative Thoughts While Enjoying Fitness

February 24, 2013

I have to say that the Running and Recovery posts have been some of my favorite posts to write. Throughout my recovery, I kept hoping bloggers would address the issue of exercise and fitness while regaining strength (physical and emotional) from an eating disorder, but I never found the inspiration I was searching for. I [...]

Talk Less, Do More & A Giveaway!

January 11, 2013

For some reason, I’ve really been craving green tea lately.  Back in college, one of the delis on campus sold Green Bubble Tea, and it was my favorite drink my freshman year…they were almost always out of it every time I wanted one for the rest of my college career. On Wednesday, I was out [...]

Look Who’s Running

January 3, 2013

On December 1, I laced up my running shoes, put Angie’s leash on her, and set out to become a runner. I’ve always wanted to be a runner, but never stuck with it long enough to make any real progress.  I was decently athletic in high school and played varsity tennis my senior year.  My [...]

Girl, Put Your Records On: Lessons I Learned at 23

December 12, 2012

December 12 is always the day that I survey the past year (and by the time this is published it will already be the 13th for many of you).  My 24th birthday is tomorrow and it’s close enough to the end of the year that it’s easy for me to look back at the past [...]

I can’t believe it’s Monday. Ok it’s Monday night really, but I started this post this morning.  After being pretty much confined to my bed the entire weekend with a rather sweet cuddle buddy, Do you see what she is resting her nose on? My salt crystal heart! I thought I’d wake up feeling much [...]

When Life Gives You Lemons….I Forget the Rest

May 15, 2012

Behold the mostly raw, completely vegan Meyer Lemon Coconut Bar.  Chances are you probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry, right now. Now I’ve posted a few recipes on the blog and if you can’t tell I’m a lazy cook.  Can I help it that I want what I want when I want [...]

How Embarrassment Turned to Pride

April 8, 2012

Today I am working on my thesis, vision board, going to take Angie for a walk, and then go shopping.  This time last year I had chosen to stop day treatment for my eating disorder and go to the Intensive Outpatient Level.  The year before that was the first time I ever purged and when [...]
