To move without self-consciousness. I imagine it must be a gift that one doesn't think about unless one doesn't have it. I have other such gifts, and I am trying to be aware of them and not obsess too much on what I don't have. xo37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-89955802115379014052015-09-01T12:41:04.166-04:002015-09-01T12:41:04.166-04:00Thinking of chocolate as the boss of me is actuall...Thinking of chocolate as the boss of me is actually a fresh way of looking at this for me, and I think it may help me take back the power, so to speak ... so, thank you.

All my ...Denial is a river in Egypt for all I care. All my mothering years I was hoping and striving to somehow instal in my daughter that sense of self confidence and love for her body that my mother worked to hard to expel from my set of feelings. And she had all the help, my mother I mean. <br />I think I managed it but oh wow, the world is not a nice place for the female body. In fact it's a hateful place, don't you think? <br /><br />I get the thing about the sugar, if there is a bar of chocolate in the house, I cannot rest until its gone and eaten up by me, mostly. I hugely admire people who can take a small bite and leave the rest for - tomorrow!? Same with biscuits/cookies. So, I don't buy them and I don't bake them nor cakes nor pancakes etc. unless we have guests. No cereal either, just plain porridge. Self sacrifice? <br />But I do love vegs. And fruit. And fresh bread. There we go. It comes down to the same thing.<br /><br />Love your body, enjoy the luxury of eating and nourishment. Don't start counting numbers. Please. It's so demeaning.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-16224176721048581312015-08-31T14:18:22.270-04:002015-08-31T14:18:22.270-04:00All I can say to all of this is me, too, sistah!

My weight gain started the day I realized there were chocolate chips in the cupboard and no one was the boss of me except me. I find protein to be my best defense against cravings; even a small amount seems to help. Your breakfast sounds like it nourished your soul ... jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-59931863626794336272015-08-31T10:17:15.522-04:002015-08-31T10:17:15.522-04:00I hear you, I hear you.

I'm feeding it to the chickens. I wonder if even they'll eat it. Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
