Oh it was hot hiking! I love my cool, shady, next to top Zen place and my cool, delicious H2o

Podcast Recap

Celebrate our 40 week milestone! Stories, announcements, surprises, stats and other fun. Freaked out from current Robot Alien events, I delve into the reasons and decide to let go of indecision. Learning to trust myself to know my own best path and then to stay the course is key to both my comfort and my progress. Welcome to new brave companion, Kerry, and thanks to Cheryl and Dawny for commenting on my guest blog post on Dr. Nina’s blog, Make Peace with Food. I ponder communication and support with help from comments from Sue. Dawny calls the bravery hotline and puts herself deservedly on the bravery report for opening up and honestly seeking support from the BCs. Patt also steps up right away to support Dawny. I put myself into Foolish Fun mode by reading a short story I wrote in my writing group about an alien named Griffin who fell to Earth after disobeying his father. I hope other writers may follow suit. BC Rachel supports Amy from WI who called the bravery hotline on Day 65, and asks us all for our thoughts about procrastination. I reveal why I’m now following myself on twitter and why I love Instagram.
Man hiking ahead on the trail

A cool lesson I learned on the hot trail yesterday. Sometimes it’s our turn to lead, sometimes to follow.

Podcast Recap

Powerful episode today. I dive deep into two key triggers for my food compulsion, indecision and low self-worth. I struggle with a key decision about the future of my podcasts and ruminate over past episodes and whether I can drum up the balls to release them. Finally I bring forth a new podcast hotline dedicated to Compulsive Overeating Diary, 206-350-6445
