Wearing out the groove. An update. A confession. And a lil bit of pain as I rip open another scar.

I’m a creature of habit. I’m not a big fan of change. In fact, it sparks a lot of anxiety for me. I like knowing what to expect and will stay in painful situations if it means I’m “safe” from something scary and new… like a whole new scenario with unknown variables. That feels like […]

“Insatiable” Final Verdict.

Yesterday, Netflix dropped the first season of its new, controversial series “Insatiable.” Twelve episodes I was encouraged to watch by the shows creators, to give it a fair shot instead of going by what I saw in the troubling trailers, which suggested it was a fat-shaming, fatphobic, sexist mess. It’s got Alyssa Milano, FFS. Alyssa […]

Reevaluating life through a Queer Eye

Back in the day, I used to watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and I enjoyed it a lot. Not sure why it took so long for me to jump on the bandwagon for the reboot, but I just got around to watching it last week, binging all 16 episodes over the course of […]

Rediscovery

Yesterday, thanks to a Google notification of “Rediscover This Day,” I ended up in a “hole” of old photos taken roughly around 2009, and I was absolutely stunned how I looked in them, like another person I wasn’t expecting. I don’t know about you, but I find myself “feeling” like me, no matter what age […]

From deviled eggs to chocolate bunnies, to that great big Easter ham, this holiday, for me, has always been one of indulgence. Maybe that’s why I have always liked holidays so much. I can get away with behavior for […]

Patterns and Pitfalls

This was my first week back to work and it has been a tough one. I didn’t make it a full 40 hours, some days I was lucky to make it to Hour Six. I wore out easier, which I was forewarned through my HysterSisters could happen. I aced that job initially thanks to my […]

260 little reasons.

So I weighed in yesterday because it was March 1st and, for the first time in forever, I finally got a full night’s sleep. I wanted to see what that meant on the scale, and I was excited to see that I had broken through not only one but two milestones. I am now under […]

The Rings on the Tree

If you haven’t had a chance yet to listen to the Superior Podcast where hosts Frank Prather and Hal Sparks take on my journey to health as a personal project, I highly recommend giving it a listen. Not because it’s about yours truly and what I’m going to be doing for the next few months, […]
