Yes, I've talked myself into it. I am going to accept myself today. Great intention, but why, why is it so hard?! Why is it so very hard for us humans to accept ourselves? Can one truly embrace oneself, flaws and all, without cringing. Without wanting to run to the store to buy the latest diet pill, race to confession for absolution, or just suffer quietly in the agony of your own imperfection. |

I have a friend, who, in my eyes is nearly perfect. She is a tall, tanned, blond, blue-eyed beach babe with a figure to die for. Perfect 36-24-36. When I work out on the spin bike, sweat stinging my eyes, I imagine myself as her. She is my goal body. Yes, I put my face on her body. I pretend I am walking barefoot, like she does, on the Jersey shore, strolling past the boardwalk, jeweled fit flops dangling from my nicely manicured hand, wearing sparkling white shorts and matching top. |

Diabetes, heart-attack, acute angina. Think you are too young to worry about such things? Well, not really. Seeds for things like this are sown now. The cake you eat today is your cellulite tomorrow... and maybe your hear attack 20 years from now. |

6 8 10 12 14. No, these are not the winning power-ball numbers. They are not the mysterious coordinates on ABC's Lost. It definitely is not the sequential math problem you've gotten wrong on the SAT. They are the sizes in my closet. Past, present and ever future. Yes, I have multiple wardrobes for multiple sizes. |

I want to conquer all my fears before I die. This year I want to face a couple of them head on. I want to para sail and I want to be hungry. Jesus did it. No, not para sail (although, he'd probably be really good at it). Be hungry. He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, why can't I not eat in 4 hours?! What would it be like to be that hungry? Why am I so afraid of the least little hunger pain? First sign of hunger, I'm running to the frig to eat a chicken leg. Not completely necessary. |
