Grey’s Anatomy is a great show. I love it, I really do. And if you haven’t watched from the beginning, I highly HIGHLY suggest it. There’s a formula to the show. In every episode, there’s a patient. They’ve either been maimed by an inanimate object, have a car part or something protruding through their abdomen,Continue reading We’re on His Wall
21 Days
So this past week, I have been up at our lake home in Michigan. It’s a beautiful time together with family, sunshine, food-a-plenty, and of course, beer! It’s been really interesting for me to enter into this intense week of family time after just coming off of an intense period of filming on set. And itContinue reading 21 Days
WAKE UP CALL
Warning: This may be hard to read. Something happened to me today that made me catch my breath. I was talking with a guy this afternoon, and we were talking about our former high school sweethearts. I pleasantly reminisced about my past, and “edited it” to not include my eating disorder, as I always do.Continue reading WAKE UP CALL
A Father’s Day Lesson
#HonestyHour Father’s Day is upon us here in the US. And every year, when it comes, I am full of just a mixed bag of emotions: love, gratitude, admiration, feeling blessed — those are all pretty common, and wonderful things. But since my anorexia, I have to be honest: in my mind and heart, thisContinue reading A Father’s Day Lesson
Fight Fear Less
What are you afraid of? Really. I want you to put it into words. Verbalize it. What keeps you up at night? During my anorexia and for some of much of recovery, I was afraid of the weight restoration. I was afraid of certain foods; that “all elusive” weight range; how my body was goingContinue reading Fight Fear Less
CRUSH THE SNAKE
ED is a slithering, slimy, snake in the way he can sneak his way into unexpected places in your life. A no-good, dirty, good-for-nothing snake. And you know what you do to a snake? YOU CRUSH IT. You chop off its head. Stomp on its face with the heel of your stiletto. You skewer it, cook it over an open flame andContinue reading CRUSH THE SNAKE
He’s Jealous
Jesus is jealous of ED. There. I said it. You’re scratching you head. Whaaaat is this chick talking about? Has she completely lost it? Blasphemy! Just hear me out. Nowadays, a lot of us envision Jesus as this hippie-esq dude sporting sandals, flowing locks, and an easy-going peace sign, strumming an acoustic guitar, singing Kumbaya. ThankContinue reading He’s Jealous
Recover with Urgency #JuneAttackWeekend
A scary thing happened to me today. I was cooking my lunch on the gas stove this afternoon when the pot boiled over. Ugh – annoying. The flame blew out. Oh well, it was finished cooking anyways. So I took the pot off the burner. And since there was no visible flame, I forgot to turn it offContinue reading Recover with Urgency #JuneAttackWeekend
An Open Self-#RealTalk Sesh
Sometimes life is less than optimum. For one reason or another, we just feel crummy. Maybe ED’s lies are particularly loud. Perhaps we’re feeling anxiety over an intake increase. Maybe we’re feeling down about our body image. Or we had a squabble with a loved one. Whatever the reason, we’re just feeling crappy, for lack of a better word.Continue reading An Open Self-#RealTalk Sesh
