The Cheat Days are Missing!

January 18, 2019 ~ monsutaari ~ Leave a comment

I was at the Taiyaki stand, ready for my weekly custard fish, plus bonus fish! Hannah's gone for the weekend with her grandparents! It's always been the cheat weekend over the last two years of our super diet, lifestyle change, but the excitement is gone. It's not special, I will have no extra pleasure in … Continue reading The Cheat Days are Missing!

Alexia vs The Scale

January 16, 2019January 16, 2019 ~ monsutaari ~ 1 Comment

InBody the Temptress The longing glances in the gym were on fire today. The woman desperately wanting, but having to resist the charms, the comfort, the solidity of the body composition scale machine. Three days ago on Sunday, I decided that I was no longer going to let an arbitrary number dictate my life. Yeah! … Continue reading Alexia vs The Scale

It’s Your Body

It appears my scale-free journey has triggered a focus on body confidence. So let's continue adding in other common issues that make people fear others' views of their body.

To be imperfect can bring a quick execution or less dire thing like suspending a child locked in a cage for years to perfect … Continue reading Imperfect! Die!

Something has been hinted to me by my psychologist. Something I could not imagine would be possible in my life. It's the reversal of my habits for the last 19+ years. That I should stop weighing myself, or at least not so much, not every day or multiple times a day. Since I was a … Continue reading Flying Blind

Mommy, I Want Legos

January 6, 2019 ~ monsutaari ~ 1 Comment

Today was an interesting day, full of new wonders and amazement. I can honestly say we haven't seen its like in years. It was peaceful, serene, calm, and dare I say pleasant? Some of it is magic, some progress, and some lessons learned. That was my intended topic but it took a different turn. One … Continue reading Mommy, I Want Legos

New Dimensions & Taiyaki

January 4, 2019 ~ monsutaari ~ Leave a comment

A couple days ago I did a post on the popular "If you want to be happy, lower your expectations," of recent months. I only thought of desires, lifestyles, and other experiences. Happiness is from what we accomplish & attain, obviously. Or not. Today I learned differently when in my weekly therapy session. Today I … Continue reading New Dimensions & Taiyaki
