My NEW goal weight is wherever my body is at any given time. Because my new goal isn’t a number. It’s being present and self-loving, and not waiting for some time in the future to be happy.
Instead of arguing with the reality of my current weight and glorifying the idea of a different experience, I can revel in my current experience, and focus on fun things like:
- mindful eating
- celebrating cooking healthy, fresh, local and organic
- training for a triathlon
- wearing clothes that fit instead of punishing myself with ill-fitting, cheap, non-committal ones
- going to awesome dance classes
- loving others and myself, and allowing them to love me
- not assuming that people are judging me because of my weight
- being willing to be vulnerable
- wearing a bikini
- and more!
Honk if you’re feeling it!

I’m doing it!!!! Iceland, France, Spain, Morocco, Italy, Greece, and Czech Republic. Maybe more of Eastern Europe along the way. Right now I’m going full speed ahead with my plans while having faith that the rest of the money I need will materialize. I just keep telling myself that it’s going to work out!

I admit it… today I really entertained thoughts of just LICKING the fig, of just sticking that free sample of blueberry pie in my mouth and then spitting it out. I didn’t, because even if it wouldn’t have really screwed things up, it just would have felt wrong. I would have felt like I was lying if I came back here and told you everything was going great. And I didn’t come this far just to compromise my integrity for a fig lick.
My previous plan of doing 13 days now seems laughable. I’m ready, so ready, for day 11 to be here so I can drink something else. The lemonade is tasting quite bad to me today, which might be related to the fact that I had to make it with tap water, regular lemons and LOG CABIN (oh, the shame!) maple syrup. The all-organic version is so much better.
I want to stick it out until my tongue turns pink, but I feel like this has been the longest week of my life. More than anything, I really want a spoonful of hummus. That’s the one craving that I have every single day.
