Are you listening?

(are you?)

This is for me.

This is for you.

Life is tough. It fucking sucks some days. We wake up day in and day out unhappy with who we see in the mirror. We scream inside for a change. Any change. We are […]

Forty-two

It’s my birthday.

(Well technically it’s tomorrow)

When I opened my laptop to start this post I had no idea what I wanted to say. I stared blankly at the white screen for a while, stumped. If you know me (you do know me right?) being stumped for words […]

The life of a recovering Bulimic…

http://thrushadows.blogspot.com

It’s no secret that I am a recovering Bulimic.

Today I am not ashamed to tell people that bulimia is a part of my life. When I hid it from the world I was ashamed. Ashamed that my relationship with food came down to two things: Binge and Purge. […]

What we see is what we do…

Some things never change.

The other day I was at Wal-Mart doing some shopping. I know I know, I shouldn’t give into the big conglomerate companies but being in a new country, unfamiliar with my surroundings still and in need of a some boots for my newly acquired nephew-in-law (we got him Transformer […]

Lollihop winner!!!

I’m still in Halifax.

Enjoying what will become my new home in just a few short weeks (seven to be exact): My new home, my new apartment. Running a 10k with Meegan. Meeting her friends (who will soon become my friends). Domesticating: buying curtains, deciding where to put pictures on the […]

Give-(Lollihop)-A-Way!!!

I am not a product whore.

It’s hard not to be while on this life changing journey that centers around weight loss. We are inundated with different products supposedly invented to help us lose weight, eat well, be happy, fart rainbows, run marathons, fit into a size 6, […]

You (me)

YOU:

You’re so frustrated with yourself.

Here you are again deciding to do something about the weight that you’ve carried around for so long. This will be the (insert number here) time you’ve cleaned out your refrigerator, thrown away all the half eaten bags of chips waiting to […]

The mother of all recaps…

My number was 47.

My time was 3:02:17

My overall place was 84/94

This is me just after I crossed the finish line. The girl next to me is Chris. We’re both dead tired and can hardly stand on our own two feet beat. This is the end […]
