Did everyone read this yet? Apparently fashion week in Spain is set to look very, very different this year. Organizers at Madrid’s big show are using BMI (by measuring the models’ height and weight) in an apparent attempt to:
. . . project an image of beauty and health, rather than a waif-like, or heroin chic [...]
I’m not exactly sure what to do with this post, how long it may stay active, or if I will even publish it at all. For now, I’ll write in an attempt to be honest and to explore all elements of my relationship to food. But, I will type it with the bulk of the [...]
Day one, and the eating is easy. I have no delusions1 about this. Day one is always easy. The good news is that I didn’t swing too far to any kind of extreme today. I went to work, at regular but unplanned intervals I got a little hungry, and then I ate. It was as [...]

I had such a crappy day today, I can hardly stand it.
Work was pretty awful, with nit-picking supervisors and re-do’s and paperwork deadlines aplenty. That, of course, is on top of the general awful that my work sometimes entails — talking about abuse situations, setting firm boundaries with parents, and saying goodbye to the clients who [...]
Although I love the way they taste, I don’t like the texture of certain vegetables (notably olives, raw onions, raw peppers, and mushrooms). They’re too loud, too fleshy, too overt. When I was little, I would tell my mom that raw onions “taste like they are screaming.” But, as I try to incorporate vegetables and [...]
