Despite my smile, I’m feeling like an idiot walking around a park speaking out loud to myself. Hope you guys are out there!

Podcast Recap

Yay for us pathetic folk! Pathetic is the new cool. Pathetic or not, here I come! At least that’s what I tell myself as I struggle with my feelings while I huff and puff around the local park. Most hellishly embarrassing episode to release ever. I’m proud of myself though, because I didn’t weasel out and stop myself from showing how I truly felt, which was sad, needy, pathetic and out of breath. I’m also thankful for my friend Cheryl and our Skype conversation. Reaching out is always good when you are feeling pathetic or are otherwise in a bad place. Take that pathetic! And as long as I’m being pathetic, anyway, just go ahead and comment, would ja?

Trader Joe’s – the scene of my inner struggle. Will I buy binge food or stick to my plan?

Podcast Recap

I overcome an overwhelming compulsion to weasel out of my exercise class and ponder what’s under my weaseling-out instinct. Then I attempt to visit Trader Joe’s while hungry. Will I sabotage myself or stick to my plan? Also, iTunes comes through and my husband surprises me in an emotional way.
