So…here’s a little video I made to talk to you about what’s going on with outfit posts, (I know you were wondering…) and a little about what’s happening with me.
**well, I’m a dummy 😉 didn’t realize I had the video set to private. my apologies!! you can see it now**
Miss Sophie’s post I mentioned: Playing Favorites. Maybe I’ll do a video response 🙂

Dear Grechen,
I totally appreciate your raw honesty on weight. So many women feel the emotions that you do but generally do not talk about it. I think you are beautiful the way you are but I understand the health reasons for losing some weight. Good luck to you on your journey. Love your blog and visit it daily. Take care and don’t be hard on yourself.
thanks so much for your comment melissa 🙂 for me right now, it’s more about FEELING good than looking good. i do think that i look good (mostly), but i don’t feel good in my body – it doesn’t feel right. and that’s hard to live with. i just want to feel GREAT in my body for once in my life…
Dear Grechen,
Thank you for sharing what you are going through with us, my family have high cholesterol too and I went through that moment in life when I looked at what I had and got frustrated with myself, I struggled with the weight issue, too. I started cooking differently and adopted daily habits that I can keep up (like never eating 3hrs before going to sleep and always choosing stairs instead of elevators if there are options). I think many many readers identify with you on this and I hope you are taking good care of yourself (extremes are never good, solid change takes time, and these are frustrating moments but I am sure that you can do it!)

thanks for your comment nanashi – this is also part of a process of me “growing up” a bit – i’ve tried to avoid any sort of discipline when it comes to exercise and watching calories (and pretty much everything else in my life) that it’s time to get back on track. other than my work, i haven’t been willing to really work hard at anything lately – whether it’s losing weight, finding hobbies, meeting new people…and that’s getting me nowhere fast. like i said: it’s time for me to grow up – before i turn 40 😉
grechen!! i cannot tell you how awesome it is that you’re being so honest and open about things. i think staying healthy and living a healthy lifestyle versus maintaining an ideal weight affect people all over the spectrum. this year, i’m trying to start doing yoga and become a “part-time” vegetarian to make sure i get enough antioxidants and all that other good stuff…more power to you, and know that you have so many fans rooting for you from all over 🙂
and i’m looking forward to your video favorite things post! 😀
