Rest

I didn’t mention this in a post, but a few weeks ago, I ended up in the ER due to having severe chest pain. They ran a ton of tests to see if it was a heart issue or a blood clot. Everything was perfect. A few days later, I followed up with my primary…

Meal Plan for 9/1-9/7

It has been a LONG TIME since I’ve shared our meal plans. Honestly, meal planning is a bit complicated now since I work in the kitchen. My schedule is kind of all over the place, and we eat some meals in the dining hall. I’m trying to eat much healthier now, so even when I…

More Processing Through Journaling

I’m going to attempt to process more about my food/weight/body image stuff. I’m STILL so torn about it and feel so back and forth. Where does the shame and fear lie? Is it in my body or in my desire to be more strict with things? Am I making something a moral issue that isn’t a…

Processing Through Journaling

I just thought I’d share my journal from today. It was a little scattered but also pretty helpful. I’m learning more and more about myself. I realized yesterday that I have been battling the weight/body image/nutrition/exercise battle for a long time, and I have never sought God’s wisdom on it. WHY am I so obsessed with…

Life Will Always Be Life: Beautiful and Difficult

A few nights ago, I had the opportunity to remember what I just wrote about. There always seems to be something that “pops up” as soon as I feel like things are settling. Every time. So, I figured something would be coming. Homeschooling & Teenagers I can’t write about it, but I guess I’m eating…

No Longer Shrinking Myself

After four doses of my new medication, I’ve already started to feel noticeably better. I didn’t think that was possible because I have read it can take up to 2-6 weeks. But then I googled and realized that a lot of people noticed a difference almost right away (especially if they were in a depressive…

Back to Wild + Free Mama

I have been working on revamping my blog (again). I let the paid version go because I didn’t want to pay for it since I didn’t make money. After that happened, I realized that I wasn’t ready to let it go. I had a 30% off coupon code, so I paid for the premium version…

Food, Fitness, Grace, Identity, and True Peace

I have had a pretty rough few months. Last week, I really thought I was slipping back into deep depression. It’s hard to put into words, but I couldn’t function. When I have days like that, I assume the worst. It’s hard not to! Through this hard season, I’m learning WHO I am, what I…

As I Reflect on 2024

Spending some time alone this last morning of 2024. As I reflect on this year, I have had some high highs and low lows. Some days felt impossible. Some days felt as though my mental health had healed. While it’s sad when I realize my brain still struggles some times, my therapist reminds me to…

Trusting My Intuition

I absolutely love this book (Re-Connected). I’m almost finished listening to it and plan to buy it to re-read and take notes. I’ve been thinking through this a lot the past few days. I tend to find some “experts” and latch onto what they say about everything. I hyper-focus on what they share in podcasts…
