About me

I’m a big girl.

I’ve got a big heart, a big mouth, a big appetite for life…and I’m a big person. I don’t plan on changing any of these things, just adjusting them as I see fit.

I’m not actually as sassy as that sounds. There’s something freeing about writing in a blog. One can say these things without worrying it will reflect somehow on one’s personality or intentions. In real life, I enjoy snuggling with my cat, reading philosophical poetry, and listening to Simon & Garfunkel vinyls. So MY idea of “a big appetite for life” might be VERY different from, say, a skydiver’s. However, it does involve exploring and living life to its fullest. And getting out of my own way in order to do so!

I’m keeping this blog primarily to motivate myself, but also with the thought and hope that someone else might see a post and be inspired—to try a smoothie, to add nutmeg to their day, maybe even to follow me and think about health (and weight) in terms of getting healthier, rather than decreasing shame. I am all about learning to replace judgement with observation, shame with ownership, and sugar with sunshine.
