Podcast Recap

I emerge from a depressive Blue Mood by sharing my feelings via blog post and explain why bike riding is a good thing to combat depression. I’m shocked by an urge to go back to calorie counting after my turbulent emotions and examine why in the end, I don’t feel that is the best way for me to go. I muse about learning to use the intuitive eating movement’s hunger scale. I share my fears and decide to give up the appearance of control over the brave companions listening and commenting habits. Also featured, Taryn Brumfitt’s Kickstarter campaign to fund a documentary about body acceptance, Amanda Trusty’s awesome video art expressing her warrior-like dance claiming her own body acceptance as well as her newest video showing her fan’s own body acceptance. Shout-outs to new listener, Janet, and comments from Sue, Cheryl, Stéfanie and Michelle McK

Always on the quest for a new and different selfie for my diary, I think things are “looking up!”
