Laying here remembering Christmases past, I was reminded that this will be the 4th Christmas PCCd (Post Chelle’s Cancer diagnosis). There have been some tough moments and there have been some good times too. In fact, I decided to re-post something I wrote the Eve of my favorite Christmas. This was Christmas 2010, the year […]

The Ghost of Binges Past
Today I wrote about binge eating over at Fitspiration, and I think I had just a little bit more about my own story to work out. Although it is very therapeutic to talk about stuff like this, eating disorders are often misunderstood and carry with them an incredible amount of stigma. I hope by exposing […]

Insecurities
This past weekend, my husband attended a family wedding and took my kids to visit his mother while I stayed behind and covered his shift with our family business. I knew this weekend was coming, and as sad as I was to miss the festivities I kind of looked forward to the solitude of a […]

The Post Can’t Write Itself
Do you see all of those smiles? That is the last time I have seen everyone smiling at one time. Sure, occasionally one slips through, but not since this day…the last good day, have I seen everyone cheesing like this. It was a long time before I found out there were even pictures of that […]

When a fortune cookie makes you cry
I have had fortune cookies say some pretty crazy things, but most of them are accurate, if carefully interpreted. They can also sometimes spawn some sort of self-prophecy, making them even more relevant. However, I have never known fortune cookies to be themselves prophetic in nature, until tonight. In a hissy fit brought on […]

Re-hydration
As someone who uses her blog as therapy, I should probably take comfort in knowing that I haven’t been posting frequently. It seems as though “feeling good” is not good for my blog, so I may have to re-focus a bit. Let’s try something new…let’s talk about how wonderfully things are going these days. If […]

Dear Santa
Dear Santa, A cure for cancer is all I want, because thousands of people suffer and die each year. My Aunt Michelle fought for 2 years and now she is 21 days from death. It’s that time of year to spread love and cheer, so spread some to the loved ones far and near. Signed, […]

Say a Little Prayer
My story begins in a Wendy’s drive-thru, but this story isn’t about food or will power. In fact, I am not even sure what the story is about, I just knew it had to be written. When I pulled up to get my order, I noticed that the lady who was going to help me […]

So…What?
At nearly 35 years old, I found my first four-leaf clover So, apparently I really like to use the word “so” and “apparently.” There has no relevance to what I want to write today, but every time I start a post I have to backspace away the “So” at the top of my page. SO, […]

The Marathon
tishamarie Depression, Mercy, Self Care, Spiritual, TNT, Weight 1 Comment
This journey is a marathon, and not a race…right? So in this path to wellness, I have been learning some interesting things about myself. For instance, I used to think that I excel in a competitive environment, especially if that competition was a long shot. So I signed up for my first DietBet and committed […]
