Podcast Recap

From Tacoma, WA, I record a special letting go of my past identity across from my old home on Puget Sound. Comments about Day 141 from BCs Josephine, Petra and Dawny. More ponderings along the waterfront as I process how it felt saying a final good-bye to Mom and how BC Dave gave me comfort in an unexpected way. We celebrate a huge milestone with BC Jo from the UK and hear some samples of her many comments. Stéfanie from Quebec returns with a brand new Secret Topic of the Day.

Rows of headstones with the grave digging backhoe behind

Emotional. We watch the gravediggers open my Dad’s grave in the veteran’s cemetery, so they can place my mom’s ashes in with him.


Flowers on the grave for Mom along with a small American flag to honor my dad's military service

After my parent’s grave a recovered with sod, a temporary marker was placed.

Podcast Recap

It’s an emotional day on the mountain as I look back at my past and share the results of my recent trip home to Tacoma, Washington. Dang crows kept me from recording yesterday! Hear just a snippet of their crazy cawing. I’m off on a birthday trip for my big 56. Welcome to new BCs Becky from the U.K. and Lisa. How I determine who to welcome and how much to spill. Changes to the show notes pages on CompulsiveOvereatingDiary.com. Thanks Sue from the U.K. and Suzanne for welcoming new BCs in my absence. Big smooch and thanks to Amy from Wisconsin for the wonderful surprise gift she sent. I LOVE it! Dawny’s question triggers me to ponder about how we know when our body is at good weight in our own eyes. Suz goes on the bravery report for sharing her audio questions about bingeing and I give my tips and ideas about how to recover.
Laurie leans her cheek against her hand sitting under a tree down at the local park

Dang crows! Oh well, at least my hair looks good on the podcast rock down at my local park.
