Turning 50

Anyone out there who is turning 50 or even 40 this year and would like to embark on this journey with me is invited to weigh in (pun intended?) on any one of my blog posts in 2011. I would love to hear from you!

In muddling through every, single, uncomfortable emotion most American women experience when comparing themselves to others, I finally decided that I don't wish to look like anyone else: I am HAPPY with who I am and what I look like. How did I get there? The sad reality is: it has taken me most of my life.

Some of you who know me are aware that I treat eating disorders in my practice. I have never experienced anorexia or bulimia, but I have struggled with being overweight in the past. Mind you, I was pregnant at the time, but I also remember feeling humiliated at every doctor's visit at the OBGYN. I know what it feels like to not feel good in the body I inhabited. It was not who I really was, and I did experience a sense of detachment from my body and my feelings.

So, I will be posting links to some of the articles I have written recently. I continue to write for the State Journal Register and http://www.behealthyspringfield.com/ website.

I am still 49, so here we go for the countdown! Let me know about YOUR journey!

Life works out,
Linda
