Waiting For Hunger: W1D4: Ideal Day

Yesterday and the rest of this week will involve a lot of juggling. Nothing unmanageable, but my comment participation will be slow until Monday. Either way, your comments are brilliant and thoughtful. I’m still trying to answer yesterday’s question for myself.

Today though, is another question. I’m in a new Intention Circle with a lot [...]

Waiting For Hunger: W1D3: Fixing Yourself

I saw this comment on Facebook yesterday from Geneen Roth, it really hit home for me why I’m doing this challenge.

“The most radical part of my own story is not that I stopped dieting; it’s that I stopped trying to fix myself. I stopped fighting with myself, stopped blaming myself, my mother, [...]

Waiting for Hunger W1D2: Filling Without Food

Yesterday was a great success. I have to thank all of you for taking the time to leave feedback, not just with me, but with everyone else in the comment area. That was so nice and encouraging to watch.

There were times yesterday when I would eat small meals in anticipation for hunger. Which would [...]

Waiting For Hunger Week1D1: Smaller Plates

Welcome to day one, week one of the Waiting for Hunger Challenge! I’ve compiled a list of participants in hopes that we can encourage each other in the coming days and weeks as we form new habits. It’s not too late to join us; feel free to leave a comment in this post if you’d [...]

Wait for Hunger Challenge: Week One

I debated what I would call this challenge.  I went back and forth on using the word “hunger” because it’s loaded. Because people in the world are actually hungry and do not have the luxury of eating when they’re not. There are also people in the world who deny themselves food when they are [...]

What Eating Less Really Means (to me)

I’m realizing that weight loss= eating less. I already knew that, and you probably did too. But, what does that actually look like? Tonight at dinner I gave myself a challenge. The challenge wasn’t to pick the healthiest thing of the menu, or to measure everything out, or to be concerned with the calories. The [...]

Moroccan Spread

This food was at my house a week ago…

We decided, in the creative circle that I’m in, to combine themed dinners with our meetings. Last week was Moroccan and heavens it was good. Everything felt nourishing and warm. Lots of chickpeas, tomatoes, eggplant and honey. One lady tossed oranges with honey and cinnamon- brilliant!

Happiness In a Bowl

This is one of my very favorite salads. Arugula, tomatoes, avocado, sea salt, red wine vinegar and olive oil. Does it get any easier?

Fall House Cleaning Part: 1

Lighting my fall scented candles…

Listening to my favorite music…

 

Cleaning the doors and windows, dusting my favorite wreath…

Organizing and rearranging…

Mopping and vacuuming…

And you’ll know I’m my mother’s daughter when I tell you I want to put a garland of fall leaves on my white table. [...]

What November May Bring

I spent the weekend in good ol’ West Virginia. Equal parts to see my family, go to the Dunbar fall festival and to see my best friend Jasmine for her 29th birthday. We’re all turning 29 in “the group” of girls I’ve known forever, and we like to tease Jasmine, because she’s the oldest and [...]
