Bodily Hatred, Part 2.
Friday, April 13th, 2007Last night I read Kim Chernin’s The Obsession - Reflections On the Tyranny of Slenderness, which was interesting if a little painful to digest.
It’s comforting, in a way, to read about weight obsession from someone else’s point of view because it’s always nice to see that someone gets it, but at the same time it […]
Spring Fashion and The Sound Of Screeching Children.
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007It is sixty-five motherfucking degrees.
Never mind the fact that it is actually going to swoop back down to a miserable twenty-nine degrees by the week’s end - right now it is a veritably balmy sixty-five, and I love it. Bring it on. My mom-ass capri pants and I are ready.
Yeah, I like capri […]
Aye Aye, Cap’n.
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007Have you ever noticed that sugared cereal mascots all appear to be smoking the crack or locked into some alternately-induced state of hyperactive psychosis?
For your perusal, I offer the Cap’n:
Looks a little unhinged, doesn’t he?
Perhaps ol’ Cappy and the Cocoa Puffs cuckoo and the Trix rabbit are meant to serve as warnings, harbingers of the […]
My Outer Adult Wants My Inner Child To Fucking Grow Up.
Monday, January 22nd, 2007I just got back from the therapist (which is always such a promising start to a journal entry, no?), who maintains that the reason I have food problems is that I eat to piss off my parents, who don’t like it when I eat, because they didn’t show me enough love.
I also don’t eat to […]
Cookie Time.
Thursday, December 21st, 2006The J-Man contracted some nasty kid-borne virus during a recent field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry and is consequently lying on the couch with a fever of a hundred and two, missing his last day of school before Christmas break and therefore missing his class party.
Bummer.
I know he got the flu during […]
Therapisseds R Smrat.
Tuesday, December 12th, 2006OK, this is classic:
My mother, from whom a goodish portion of my completely fucked-up food issues have sprung, actually follows me around the house critiquing what I eat, how often I eat, when I eat, and how much I eat on a daily basis. She does this without fail, and she has done this, […]
Headspace.
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006One of my problems (and isn’t it all about my fucking problems?) is a serious lack of the ability to calm the fuck down.
My mind is usually going a hundred miles per minute, and sometimes it just gets to be overwhelming. I am inundated with messages from my brain, I am generally in some […]
The Thing About The Fat.
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006The core issue at the front of my mind here - and I hope you’ll forgive me for rattling on and on about food and weight, but it really is bothering me this week - is that this year I lost sixty pounds and gained back ten.It seems like a small thing to whine about, […]
Jingle Freakin’ Bells.
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006I feel better. It’s a wonder what a good night’s sleep can do. I am such a fucking baby when my sleep patterns are disrupted that it’s sick, really.
Regardless of sleep I do have those “fat days”, though, days in which I am just disgusted by the sight of myself and I honestly […]
Zonk.
Monday, November 13th, 2006I’m absolutely exhausted.
This is going to consist of a lot of boring medical crap, mostly just because I’m trying to wrap my head around some stuff. You’ve been warned.
I forget sometimes that I can’t go running around like a freak all weekend on very little sleep without reality bitchslapping me right back down to […]
