I can’t BELIEVE my bravery, or gall, to wear these too tight pants out in public to the park! But it just made me SO happy to zip them. Even if it was a huge challenge.

Podcast Recap

Last week’s whacked up events demonstrate my total dependency on schedules and how I need to let that go and become more flexible. Thanks Helen for your funny joke and 5-star review on UK iTunes! Thanks too to Amazon shoppers and Coffee Klatchers. Several BCs chime in and give support to Shaunie L, Diane the Champion and express their comments about unasked for advice. More thoughts on being selfish vs. being self-supportive. Responses to Kendra’s question about what to do when you are mourning the loss of food as a coping mechanism. The unknown Foolish Funner tells a joke that transports me back to when I was a teacher. Brave Companion Amy asks for our thoughts and opinions about how much is a good amount to eat when learning Intuitive Eating.
Laurie in profile without her hat under a large tree.

It feels great to go hatless for awhile under the shady tree. If you look closely at my temple, you can see the last bit of the pre-skin cancer I’ve been treating with chemo cream from my dermatologist. It’s healing now and that’s another great feeling.
