The Dancing Paralegal: I've Moved
http://mariebops-corner.blogspot.com/2013/12/ive-moved.html
8220;Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.” Martha Graham. Sunday, December 22, 2013. I know. It's been a while. After alot of thinking, I've decided to start a fresh, new blog. I mean completely new. I will not be transferring anything from this blog over there. I am no longer a dancer or a paralegal. I've changed quite a bit in the past year, and this blog no longer reflects who I am or my current focus. December 22, 2013 at 5:52 PM.

Sunday, July 13, 2014. 10 pound progress picture, and some athletic goals. Here's a fun progress picture of me! I started at 265 pounds, and got down to 253.8 a few days ago, and took this picture yesterday. I didn't take an official "before" picture, but I do plan to take all progress pictures in this swimsuit (which is way too small right now, but really shows my shape, which is great for progress pictures). 10 pounds (255): 7/10/2014. Sometimes I get sad that I'm not naturally thin,. Because that's in...

Leah: Not Otherwise Specified: We have to stop the negative body talk!
http://kindlifeofleah.blogspot.com/2015/06/we-have-to-stop-negative-body-talk.html
Friday, June 5, 2015. We have to stop the negative body talk! Do you see anything other than a group of happy young women at a bowling alley? A group of friends having a great time? A group of beautiful, smart, capable, and friendly women? Notice anything about them besides their smiles, matching shirts, and perhaps that they are all white, half blonde/half brunette women? Many of the people in this picture see none of those things. All they see when I posted this picture online was how fat they are.

Thursday, May 21, 2015. My Recovery Meal Plan. This is the meal plan that was given to me by the nutritionist at The Renfrew Center while I was there for IOP. She says that it's important that I stick to this for at least a year before trying to be more "intuitive" or "mindful" so I'm working hard on this every day. No triggering comments, please. Only supportive comments are welcome on this post. At Renfrew, the focus is on food exchanges, not on calories or macronutrients. Desert- 1 "normal" serving of...

Friday, January 30, 2015. Hello, my name is Leah and I am a binge eater. I try to not be one, but I totally am. I think that I have tried to accept this about myself in the past, but was never successful. This is a part of my EDNOS now, and I need to treat it as such. Because honestly, though I am super proud of myself for not giving into most disordered eating thoughts, there is still one that I actually do give into regularly. Why do I not want to group binge eating with the other disordered behaviors?

Leah: Not Otherwise Specified: Being okay with the Silver medal
http://kindlifeofleah.blogspot.com/2015/06/being-okay-with-silver-medal.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Being okay with the Silver medal. I had a thought recently. It may have even been an epiphany. I hope so, since I haven't had one of those for awhile. I'm overdue for an epiphany. Holy run-on sentence, Batman! Every day is a struggle right now, and most days I just don't feel like it. The day goes on, and I very rarely reach all or even some of those goals. So I feel like a failure, because I didn't earn a "gold medal" for the day. I'm trying to learn to be happy for my silver med...

Tuesday, September 16, 2014. 25 Pounds Progress Pictures! So this happened yesterday:. And I was pretty excited. I am still recovering from the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad ankle break. I'm not allowed to put any weight on my left leg. Therefore, I usually skip exercise. I say "usually" because there have been a couple of times that I tried to do some upper body stuff, but I didn't enjoy it at all. I prefer being able to use my entire body when I exercise. I can do this. Leah K. New. According t...

Friday, August 8, 2014. On July 13 around 7:30pm, I twisted my ankle while stepping off of a curb onto some uneven pavement. I twisted it so hard that it broke my leg and ankle. In several places and needed surgery. In order to correct the breaks and relocate the ankle. The after surgery x-ray. It is such a bad break that even though the surgery technically fixed the broken bones, I am not allowed to put any weight on it for at least another 6 to 8 weeks. And allowing myself a junk food snack or two each...

Wednesday, July 8, 2015. THIN PICTURES will not ruin me. I am a person who checks her TimeHop app daily. Sometimes, it's wonderful, seeing comments from Mom on old posts. Sometimes it's way too real, with posts about when Mom was dying. Sometimes it's a reminder that I've always been pretty clever and hilarious. Other times it's a reminder that I've always been depressed. It's ALWAYS a reminder that my body used to be much smaller. Look like she's having a better time than this person? And I'm not perfec...
