		<title>&#8220;Unconditional Worth&#8221; or Cherishing Your &#8220;Me-ness&#8221;&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all long for unconditional love, but what about unconditional worth? Musing on this question will take more than one blog post, so consider this a beginning. Glenn R. Schiraldi, Ph.D. concisely describes this concept in The Self-Esteem Workbook and when I first encountered it, to be perfectly honest with you, I was stunned. A new concept&#8230; I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trusting The Wisdom of My Body&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a perfectionist. So, naturally, I&#8217;m attempting to follow the meal plan designed for me in my Eating Disorders Program right down to every teaspoon, gram, ounce and millilitre. I am trying to eyeball my portions, but my eyeballs are slow learners. Plus the stresses of my life make this precarious&#8230; I keep forgetting that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apologizing To My Body&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been writing my little fingers to the bone. Not here, I&#8217;m afraid&#8230; Though I&#8217;d love to be here with you, instead, I&#8217;m writing reams about body image ~ mine. It&#8217;s exhausting and triggering. Working on recovering from my eating disorder with psychologist, Kim Watson, Ph.D involves reading two workbooks ~ on body image [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decoding My Body Image&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I graduated from my six-week Eating Disorders Program on January 6th, I knew much more about metabolism and normative eating. I had a fresh, liberating understanding of what &#8220;normal&#8221; eating is for me. For everyone. We need a minimum number of calories for our bodies simply to function. That number is always ignored by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today I Think My Cast Comes Off!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while. And a struggle. But I am definitely on the mend. Happy 2012. I have resolved not to make any resolutions, other than to be more empathetic with Marty, my husband, who has a completely different temperament than I do. My mind works faster than my left forefinger, so writing this blog is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Suffering with November &#8220;Greys&#8221;&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[November is not a pretty month in these parts. Today is typical. Though we have had some lovely, sunny, sweet un-November-like days, today is not one of them.
