Yes, thanks for the podcast link. I am putting it on my ipod too to listen to on my run. I will have to kick my boys ass if he doesn’t hurry up and get my weights from the garage. I am super excited to get started on NROLW again. I might have to gear up and head out there myself to find them with 911 on speed dial and a bat in my hands. LOL I am terrified of the chance there might be a mouse in the weights box! (ssshhiivveeerrr….) Plus, it’s a total mess and a car project lovers haven. Not safe for a lady!

Ooh, thanks for sharing that podcast! That’s going on the iPod!

With my social anxiety disorder, I think every comment like that is badly directed towards me. I’ve never been obese, but I still get the paranoia that probably comes with it.

Great workout Lori! And love the food again! Need to pay more attention to that too, I'm taking it easy, to easy on the cooking and it's boring me. Time to try new things! .-= Fran´s last blog ..A day in my life: Tuesday January 19th 2010 =-.

I think it's interesting how that guy was a goof (maybe he could have gotten the message the first time?) and somehow you ended up feeling embarrassed. Body image is very durable (hard to occupy the new shape we're in, whether big or small). I also suspect some of us are poor externalizers (it's their fault) versus internalizers (it's my fault.) .-= Larkspur´s last blog ..Don't Drown =-.

Those blueberries on the waffles are making me drool. One of my favorite fruits!

Not to worry about the treadmill. The gym should put a sign on it instead of relying on verbal communication regarding the running – or, even better, just unplug it until it’s fixed.

Old hurts never die. Even if we think we are over them, they stick with us and help to mold our mind sets later in life – we just have to be strong and try to be better for it.

I still have that kind of thing happen–mostly if I am doing something physical in front of other people and I am afraid I will fail, or look ridiculous or something. And I have to actually remind myself that I look different now, and if I fail, it won’t be because I”m fat, and it won’t be the same. So its more ‘me’ than ‘them.’ If that makes sense.

Lori, I so related to this: I had face-flushing flashbacks to my overweight childhood (and adulthood) days where those kind of remarks were made to hurt and tease. Any of you know what I mean? There are times when I wonder if those old hurts are ever going to heal. I’m 41 for Pete’s sake.

I am 52 & I still have flashbacks! I know, will it ever heal. Maybe that is what keeps me going!

Congrats on that workout! It is important to do workouts where you do one arm or leg at a time. It can really point out if one side is stronger than another & allow you to work on the imbalance.

OK, you know I love the food pics!

I know just what you mean about certain comments still hurting. You were wise to recognise that his comment was not specific to you, just to someone running on that treadmill. Recognising that in the moment and not allowing it to chase you away shows that those old hurts are on the road to healing. .-= SeaShore´s last blog ..A loss and an NSV, with a side of tension and a sprinkling of pain =-.
