I'm the same way in that what and how much I eat doesn't seem to have such a great effect on how comfortable I feel in my jeans, but how often and for how long I run has everything to do with it. I remember my grandmother and mother saying a very few insensitive things during my childhood/adolescence and I clung to their words in way that produced a lot of pain for me. I think both my mother and grandmother had a lot to process in terms of body image that they never had at that point and it became very clear in those few instances. That you are so aware of how you feel and think about your body and what you do and don't want to pass on to your daughters I think is key. I've seen changes like that happen through the generations in my family (grandparents trying to not pass on racial bigotry, parents trying to reframe gendered differences) and it all had to do with intentionality.tessahttp://callyourcourage.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988962265617663341.post-50484703168610890372009-05-06T12:24:00.000-04:002009-05-06T12:24:00.000-04:00I love that you talk about weight issues because I...I love that you talk about weight issues because I can really relate to your posts. I just wrote a post about junk food/issues.<br />It's great you know if you need to lose it--you can-- and you know what to do. I am the same way.<br />Kudos to you for getting up at 5am and getting to the gym. Hopefully, those good habits are what the girls will inherit, regardless of the "weight curse."<br />Good luck, I know you can do it.Pufferfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534200400439443949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988962265617663341.post-25359237177803755932009-04-30T13:37:00.000-04:002009-04-30T13:37:00.000-04:00I so hear you on the weight cycle, I am overweight...I so hear you on the weight cycle, I am overweight and my weight fluctuates constantly, and it is very frustrating for me not to be able to control it. I am doing WW which helps -- as long as I'm consistent! Additionally, I take an anti-anxiety medication which causes a slow metabolism which sucks.<br /><br />Because of all the weight/food issues in my family (among the women), I was almost relieved to give birth to a son simply because he'll be less likely to inherit those sorts of body issues, as awful as that sounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988962265617663341.post-36323193574387543222009-04-30T13:31:00.000-04:002009-04-30T13:31:00.000-04:00I swear you are related to Renee Zellweger (sp)
I ...I swear you are related to Renee Zellweger (sp)<br />I watched her go from Bridget Jones to Chicago and read how she has this amazing metabolism with exercise.<br />I think you are lucky that you have the exact formula. So many of us would just like to know how hard we have to suffer to lose the weight. The unknown sends us to the store for another box of oreos because it must be TOO hard to get there or we'd get there faster.<br /><br />I love the picture of the girls holding hands. SO cute.<br />I want a backyard like this too.K J and the kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768311213861195548noreply@blogger.com
