That butt won't get any smaller by sitting on it...

I'm 30 years old. I've been chunky for a good deal of my adolescent and adult life. I don't want to be chunky anymore. I am an emotional over-eater, binge eater, and a foodie, which makes for a BAD combination. I do not want to be skinny; I want to be fit. I want to be healthy. I want to fit into clothes.

I like fitness, I just hate not being motivated. I enjoy step aerobics, yoga, pilates, swimming aerobics, ballet, tap dance, hiking. I'd love to learn boxing, kayaking ...

I like fitness, I just hate not being motivated. I enjoy step aerobics, yoga, pilates, swimming aerobics, ballet, tap dance, hiking. I'd love to learn boxing, kayaking (which I've done twice and crave more!), surfing, indoor rock climbing (which I tried recently! Woo!), and breaking dishes. I'm always looking for inspiration and motivation!

On June 13th, 2010, I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a BA in Theatre; Minor in History (women's/gender studies focus.) Since achieving this milestone, my goals have changed. I want to go to culinary school and enter a Master's Degree program in nutrition to become a Registered Dietitian.

I wager your cold water solenoid on your water inlet mixing valve has failed. Same thing happened to us, only it was the hot water side that went bad. Pretty easy to replace the valve, which only costs $15-25 probably. Sure beats buying a new washer or even having a repair person pay a house visit.

Thank you so much for the reminder! I've been working my butt off on school work. I'm on my phone, but Google pflag be not afraid. The first link that pops up should be the pdf.

I'll look for the link online today and if I can't find it I'll locate my extra copy and get your address. It's a new publication.

A few days late, but I wanted to stop by and say THANK YOU. Not only for supporting me on my Day of Silence but for going a step further and becoming a more vocal ally in a community that is difficult to engage. THAT is awesome and I have mad respect and gratitude for you. I'm not sure if you're familiar, but PFLAG has a book on engaging allies in the faith community called Be Not Afraid. I'm sure if you google it you can download a free copy. If not, I have an extra I can mail if you're interested. It's REALLY good! And short!
