   Just wanted to say hi! Things are ok for me. Getting ready for Christmas and working on letting myself enjoy those treats. Also, I just learned that you need to eat about 3500 over and beyond your regular eating. So I guess the world doesn’t stop if I eat a peanut butter cup lol Keep up the podcasts!

      Hugs Kendra! I’m glad to hear that things are well and that you will be enjoying vs. stressing over Christmas. Yep, a true pound of gain takes much more doing than a bite here and there. As many people have said, it isn’t what you do any one day that shapes your life, it’s what you do most days. I think the best thing I’m learning to help me these days is that food is just food. I used to say that to avoid eating the treats such as a peanut butter cup, but now I know that a peanut butter cup is neutral and I can have a bite or not. It’s really freeing. On my best days I’m able to pass up many things that aren’t my favorites and focus more on what I truly want to have as a flavor/texture and enjoy it. When I’m in my IE zone, no food will harm me (outside of allergies). And that is making our current holidays so much less stress for me. Of course, I’m still learning (aren’t we all) so some days I still struggle with my automatic attitudes. I’m so happy to hear from you. I think of you often and wish you well as you were key early on in my exploring Intuitive Eating for real. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, Dear Kendra xoxoxoxoxoxox

   LOVE LOVE LOVE this episode AS ALWAYS Laurie, and other BC’s.. Im sooo excited for the BC song.. tho I hope it doesn’t ‘replace’ “Im letting Go” I like that snippet too. LOL. if the intent is to ‘replace’ it maybe you can ‘alternate’ lol lol
   I’ll get my call in to the hotline asap

   I love your analogy Laurie, it helps me a lot, although I don’t fear life/living, I fear believing and trusting myself when it comes to food/eating/hunger/satisfied… I fear that I’ll make the wrong choice, I fear that I won’t do it ‘right’.. what the heck is right? anyway?? WOW.. thanks for opening my thinklings to this, you ALWAYS give me GREAT food for thought.. I LOVE it

   Im anxious to check out the book =-) im all for a ‘quick good read’ that’s helpful

      Hi Dawny, you were up early for your wog-about today! No worries, the BC song is a feature in the show, like foolish fun, just its purpose is to highlight our bravery and support of one another. Letting go will remain my show’s theme song and inspirational snippet. AND support comes in many packages. I never want sending me cups of coffee to be a burden. And you dear Dawny support me with comments, emails, participation and so many ways that I appreciate on a daily basis. You are like the wind beneath my wings. You are a generous soul, and when you can happily buy coffee, you can if your heart is light about it…know what I mean? My goal is to always have COD in every form be a help, a joy, a safe thinking place and a safe spot to spread your wings, as Fionna and Suz have done by daring to share their music and you have done by daring to share your story in all of its ups and downs. I never want COD to be a chore, a guilt spot or another burden on the BCs. Yes, dear Dawny, there is a Santa, and it’s you! xoxoxoxoxox

      PS, I won’t be going anywhere unless the show and blog don’t help me anymore. So don’t worry, not even in my mind as a possibility at the moment.

      Hey gal, I just got your bravery call for the song Fionna and I are working on. Steller message! I’ll send it to Fionna so she can use it as an example as we work, and for sure I’ll use it in an episode once we have a few more. xoxoxoxoxox
