operation beautiful
end fat talk. that’s the message that caitlin at healthy tipping point is trying to spread as far and wide as possible. i have been reading about her intent to end the fat talk for a bit now and was really happy to see a tangible way we can all contribute.
the bottom line is that we as women, and hey, i know plenty of men who suffer from this as well, are culturally and personally obsessed with how we look rather than how we feel. and we make excuses for how we look if its not like the super skinny strung out celebs we see across all forms of media. take care of your soul and your body and love them both in whatever shape they are. far too many people work out and eat right for the wrong reasons. its not healthy and its not sustainable. i’m just as guilty of this as anyone. some times more than other times.
so, i’m taking caitlin’s challenge and am going to not only help end the fat talk, but hopefully bring a moment of “hell yeah, i DO rock” behind through operation beautiful.

i get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. sometimes this makes planning my day difficult. ~ e. b. white

this is me. i’m in dc and i’m: living, working, gardening, swimming, learning, petting dogs, talking, brushing my teeth (not enough can be said about good oral hygene), cooking, riding my bike, reading, going to school, eating, walking, running, sprinting, drinking, sleeping and listening.

i can’t stand questions like, ‘what’s your favorite book? movie? song? or artist?’ because i find them boring. chicago is my blood. i’ve called seattle and italy home. dc suits my current mood. my dad is my best friend. i like bud in a can, but have been called a beer/wine/food snob on more than one occasion. i’d like to live greener. i’d also like to be realistic. i will always own a car.

i strongly believe that the secret to making green is going green. this is the intention i plan to learn by, live by and work by.

oh and ice cream. i LOVE ice cream.
