I have a confession…

January 8, 2021      Leave a Comment

I have a confession. I’m not super comfortable with where my body is right now. With the pandemic, a cross country move, a full home renovation, and LIFE, things are different.


Yet, I’ve never been happier. šŸ’« Truly! This year I also began therapy, wrote a memoir, and began to fully unlock a lifetime of disordered eating and anxiety. This was the year I started to enjoy food and life more than ever, something I couldn’t do before without a lot of fear. I’m learning to intuitively eat rather than restrict and binge, and I’m learning what is a healthy amount of exercise for my mental health.


Truthfully, not much has changed with me physically, past a little extra weight, but what has changed is my tolerance for it. Instead of frantically working to look a certain way, I’m accepting what is, right now. I don’t believe my limiting beliefs anymore. I’m looking less at what my body looks like (and picking apart every single inch no matter what size I am,) and focusing on how I feel.


I was never happy with my body, ever, except in rare moments when I controlled every ounce I ate, and that only lasted a minute. True happiness started to happen when I let go of my self worth being tied to my weight. I never felt that before this year, truly.


To do that I have to look at myself, truly look, and say, ” I may not look the way I want right now, and that is okay. I am enough AS IS.” I am gentle with myself. I do what makes me feel good, inside. I focus on what my body can DO. I focus on how I want to FEEL each day.


There is no magic diet or shake that will get you what you want or make you happier, I promise. I can also tell you that my smallest size never corresponded to my best mental health. There’s a difference between what your body can do and what is better for your mental wellbeing and happiness. For me, allowing myself to let go of control + anxiety about my body has been freeing. I want that for you, too. We deserve it. ā­ļø

Happy 13th birthday to my baby boy! He’s loving, Happy 13th birthday to my baby boy! He’s loving, affectionate and always willing to lend a helping hand. He talks extra loud on his video game headset with his friends 🫠, grew approximately 6 inches this year, and his voice has deepened so I keep thinking another man is in the house(!) But still, he’s my baby and always, always will be. I love watching his dedication to playing all the sports, being his mom is just the best. From the second he was born and they placed him on my chest, my heart burst with love for him. He’s pure magic and also currently taller than me and I don’t know how 13 years have passed but I have loved every second of them.

Also, an ombrĆ© mani that I can’t stop staring at. I feel like in the winter I like nail art and in the summer I like simple neutrals.

This weekend…. Picked up our oldest after 11 da This weekend….

Picked up our oldest after 11 days away at summer camp (with no phones/no contact!) and it was amazing. Love this kid!
Travelled 3 hours across state for a lacrosse tournament that even included an afternoon at the beach šŸ™ŒšŸ»
On Sunday drove 1.45 hours to pick up Molly from camp, then drove 1.45 hours back to watch the boys play in the championship game (lost by 1, boo…), then drove 3.15 hours back home. 
But! My babies are back home and all is well. 
Our hotel had Direct tv so I was reunited with my beloved Hallmark and watched a few Xmas in July movies šŸ™šŸ»

Anyone know how to steam Hallmark? I need it back in my life šŸ˜ž
