Self Care and Weight Stigma
Hi all, this will eventually be two separate posts but for now both things are of equal and related (in my world) importance. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="112"] Sunset at Tofte Lake Center[/caption] SELF CARE Last week I went on a retreat called: Deep, Rich and BOLD put on by Thea Sheldon for women who are up to big things. I laid down some pain I'd been holding onto and learned how that was getting in my way. WAS. No longer is. It was as if I was putting a closed door in front of me at all times.

Healthy Eating at College: A Cheat Sheet
College...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. With full apologies to Dickens, I write this tongue-in-cheek because my college days were indeed wonderful times. But when it came to feeding myself, I was one of the crowd -- figuring out how to eat well in the face of a chaotic schedule that involved classes, work, a tight budget, and of course, fun! Top that off with my diet mentality -- which I have long recovered from -- and I had a recipe for eating and weight struggles. From my conversations with college women of today, I know ...
