Some of you know that I used to have a weight-loss blog. Fat lot of good it did me - I weigh more now than I ever have. I realized that DWELLING on it was counterproductive for me - and boring to boot.
But I never felt comfortable writing about that kind of thing here, on this blog meant for my son's future reading. He witnesses my struggles (and has his own) with weight on a daily basis and somehow I don't think that's one of the things he'll forget about. We both have the "fat gene" and dealing with it is going to be a lifelong issue for us. His dad has it too, but he's also addicted to exercise so he doesn't LOOK like he's got a problem. I wish I were addicted to exercise...
Anyway, I've created a new blog. It's called The Care of Me, and it's a place for me to think out loud about how I can be kinder to myself, my soul and my body and the things I explore in that quest. I really think part of my lack of success in losing weight has to do with it seeming like a punishment. Perhaps if I switch the focus from weight-loss to taking care of my self, my whole perspective on things will change. I'm hoping so.
I also hope to avoid too much navel-gazing. That can be a deep hole.

Checked you out. Very exciting and still some room for a bit of deep navel gazing. That's good.
Sounds like a good plan. . . I shall mosey on over to see what's there.
Hope this will work for you. One of the most successful 'weight loss' plans I've ever seen is Weight Watchers. It's not so much of a DIEt but more of a life style.
Wanted to let you know about a product . . . it's today's featured post.
I'm back to let you know, I can not post at your new place.
It does not accept my Typepad credentials . . .
DUH !
Good Luck with this endeavor! It really is hard to love others when you don't feel good inside. Not a real fan of exercising, but I started for the whole osteoporosis thing. So much easier with a friend.
Sayre!
OH.MY.GOD.
YOu are still posting! Halleluia! It's been forever since I've read you. It's been even longer since I've ever written in my blog.
It's michelle here from "Once upon a Time" and "One Full House" - I've quit both of those a few years ago, and just got busy living life...
But a ridiculous diagnosis of cancer has propelled me into the blogging world again, so here I am.
Looking forward to reading you again,
I will go right away and check out your new blog! I know I will love it!
Sayre,
Please let Michelle know that I can't post at her blog. Same problem as I had with yours not accepting my Typepad credentials.
Thanks.
