Man I’m tired today! But I’m glad the weather is cooler than it’s been of late as I sit near the podcast tree which is beginning to drop its shade-giving leaves.

Podcast Recap

Surprise! After waking early I head to the podcast rock even though just the day before I had recorded a long interview with Alen Standish. Letting go of internal fear is one of the topics of the day. I share my latest bravery news. Thanks to the newest Coffee Klatch subscriber and to Amazon shoppers in the USA, Canada and UK! Welcome to new brave companion Marquita who posted her story on Day 71. An update from Alana on Facebook with her reactions about housework and catching up with the show episodes. Cheryl has a question for us based on Stéfanie from Quebec’s comment on day 73 about what’s under our reactions to unsolicited advice. Another great comment conversation between Helen from the UK and Amy from Wisconsin on Day 72 about intuitive eating. Stéfanie from Quebec asks her secret topic of the day about what’s under the fear of emptiness?
A large and straggly tree.

The podcast tree. I usually pick which rock to sit and podcast from under it depending on the amount of shade. Today was cool, so I could just sit where it was comfortable.

I proudly take the selfie of the day. Then I actually WEAR my size 18W pants in public down to the podcast rock and SIT in them the whole time I record episode 69. Now THAT’s progress.

Podcast Recap

It’s an unexpected Scottish appreciation day in honor of BC Sophie as a bagpipe player practices in the park on the very day I was mysteriously hungry for, and baked scones for breakfast! I thank all of the Coffee Klatchers and Amazon shoppers and explain how you can use these ways to support the show and how to get onto the various special email lists. I try to correct my last show’s mispronunciation of Brave Companion Fionna’s name and take proactive steps to correctly welcome new BC Alana from Facebook. We hear a cool hiking analogy from our caller from Rhode Island, who I’m now calling BRICE as a nickname for Brave Rhode Island Companion Extraordinaire, because it’s easier than Brave Companion from Rhode Island. Together we muse on how much time compulsive eating takes up and what we might do instead. New BC Shaunie L calls the bravery hotline and allows me to share some of her story, but not her voice as yet.Cheryl leaves another supportive comment on day 68 and I tell all of the Brave Companions just how much their support on day 67 and day 68 did to help change my mind and my life. My new voice acting buddy and honorary BC, Max and his friends make a killer video on YouTube. We hear two very different Bravery Hotline calls from my new dynamic duo, D and D, Diane the Champion and Dawny. We discover Dawny’s been on the Half Size Me podcast! Diane reveals her own, very personal feelings about her current interactions with food. My husband, Mark begins a new feature where he tells it like it is about my progress and what it’s like to live with me now vs. when I was dieting. He will report monthly from now on in lieu of my scale. Finally, I muse on my main topic, What’s the difference between eating intuitively and just eating all that you want whenever you want?

Here I am hiking and listening to Dawny’s story on Heather Robertson’s Show, Half-Size Me. Episode 90.

I get all artistic with my photography on my way home from my hike. Notice how HOT it looks? It’s about 9:00 AM.

Full body photo snapped by Mark. It’s been 31 days since I’ve weighed by the scale. Size 18W pants and Regular Ladies’ Size XL shirt. Goes with this month’s No-Diet report by Mark.

Mentioned

My favorite Scone Recipe – I add 2 individual packages of Trader Joe’s Omega Enhanced Trail-Mix and use up to half of the flour with whole wheat cake flour. Today I added 2 T of Chia Seed, it tasted pretty good!
