How I did it: set a weekly goal. weekly works better when you have a longer way to go OR if you are teaching yourself a new style of life, preferably one that's gonna stick around.my weekly average was 1.5 lbs per week. i started 10/01/2010. Some weeks I didn't loose anything, but the next week I'd bounce back. It was waaaay easier to go easier on me in this process by having a weekly goal as opposed to staring down the big "FOUR-OH" and counting … Read how I did it…
whether or not it needs saving, but since we’re human, we usually identify most easily with our suffering first, which leads to us looking for ways out of that…
art is therapy & brings you back to a present moment filled with grace & love & acceptance & unconditional-ness.
which is absolute freedom.
try something new. try being creative. i do it every single day.
The best pride of my life happened on days 5, 6 & 7 after round one (of 4) of chemotherapy. Yup. It’s true.
I’ve never seen an entire city shut down for this event. Storefronts sell you booze right on the open street. The festival is literally blocks and blocks of city streets.
I got beaded by a SF dyke cop. she was cute. i wore my I <3 vagina tank top and had my pink faux hawk still. and even sara silverman pointed at me & gestured her approval. it was the best pride ever!
