How’d you know I was watching you? But, honestly, it was Donna who called you a FPOS.

Hugs and Kisses from Boise.

You are so funny! I laugh out loud, just like I did when I read, J.D. Salinger.

Just discovered you the other day,but I know I’ll be a regular.

Just started Cross Fit in Dec. and have signed up for the upcoming games. I barely know what I’m doing, but am having fun and getting strong.

Now, can you tell me how to accept / deal with the pain of rejection by a man whom I’ve loved since I was a child? How do I stop the self talk that tells me that he doesn’t love me or even care a bit, because I’m a useless piece of dog shit?

2013:
I’d believe my hearing impairment has no reason to hold me back in learning to dance. I’m enrolled in pole dance, ballet basics and burlesque and have done salsa and other fun stuff in the past, but never did an Eisteddfod or major performance. I’d believe my very recent ex-boyfriend was totally unworth the emotional effort and affection and I’d erase his memory entirely from my experience. I’d live as though I had financial common sense instead of debt and pursue my university studies without worrying about ‘the man’, and enjoy my life. I’d also erase my lactose intolerance so I could go back to eating creme brulee or creme caramel as those are my favourite desserts.

2013 is the year I throw out the belief that I am not worthy of achieving the goals that I set for myself.

My parents raised me to believe, albeit unintentionally, that I was unworthy of the good in the world, probably because they believe that for themselves. I am constantly surrounded by really good folks and great opportunities, yet I instead strive for the less challenging goals even though set in the back of my mind is a higher bar. This is the year to kick it into high gear and reach farther than ever. I will say more, I will do more, and damn it my scrawny (somewhat intimidated) ass is going to visit the weight side of the gym more often! This is the “year of the fit,” mentally and physically.

Thanks so much to you and the Stump community for being here to help me give this “less-than” feeling a shove into oblivion.

Love love love your rants, Krista!

The toss-away bullshit will be any resentment I harbour toward my own body. It’s time to love it with all it’s fairly hideous flaws: Many, MANY scars from skin cancer treatments, bunions from wearing heels (I refuse to stop), bruises, spider veins, cellulite from my neck to my calves, and under-developed baby toes. Nonetheless, this carcass of mine sailed through two pregnancies and births. It has taken beatings and while it shows the battle scars, it keeps rebounding. And now it is going to transform with PN. It won’t let me down. I just have to give it a chance.

By the way, I’ve known Rob since Grade 4 (Gifted class – yeesh) and I can clearly envision his dream soliloqies. What a riot!

Happy pulled up 2013!

I think I’d have to throw out the belief that my body will at some point, begin performing like it did in high school, when I was a long-distance runner. I’ve put my body through a lot – two troubled pregnancies that led to a cholecystectomy and eventually non-viral hepatitis. The anti-emetics I used intravenously have shot my veins, and I bruise like a week-old banana. I’m never going to have that level of performance again. But I’ve been weigh-lifting, and I’m definitely stronger now than I was 20 years ago. This is a new terrain for me, and so I’m deciding that I’m not going to put a limiter on myself, I’m just going to keep pushing and see what I’m capable of.

happy new year, krista! i love this. i love that there are pieces to which i can automatically say “amen, sistah!”. i also love that there are pieces that i need to mull over for awhile; to have to figure out what they mean for me, if anything at all. time to wake up, thinky brain! :-)

thanks, and all the best in 2013!
