I feel ashamed to admit this but I ask for help honestly and respectfully. I have a problem with judgeing people based on their size. I know some people will say, "Duh, everyone does that!" and others will think that's harsh of me, as we are taught not to do that.

I see a chubby friend who is vivacious and pretty and eating whatever she wants, and I feel envious of her confidence and freedom. Then, I try to make myself feel better by telling myself that *I* don't eat that much junk anymore; and… Continue

One of my goals for WholeFu was to try fasting for a day. I've "not eaten" in the past out of guilt, or illness, but I don't think I've ever fasted with the intention of giving my body and digestive system a break.

I only drank fresh coconut juice and lightly brewed oolong tea (a few small cups provided for me while I got a Chinese foot massage---a weekend treat!)

I don't know if it's truly fasting if you consume anything, even water, but I wanted to ease into the idea. It wasn't hard as I'd e… Continue

I haven't been doing well this challenge: bingeing, eating unhealthy snacks, overeating dried fruit, and basically feeling like, "if I mess up by eating this popcorn/chocolate/pastry then I might as well go all out and eat to an excess". Not good.

I think I need to restart this challenge. I thought I could handle having some cooked food here and there and still feel good and be balanced in my eating, but it's not turning out that way. I find if I leave the door to cook-food-is-okay open, I barge right in and overdo it.

I eat some steamed broccoli, which is fine...but then later I have some rice and stir-fried veggies at work because I have a big block of classes and didn't bring anything raw to eat, and then I come home hungry and eat a… Continue

I was listening to the Beach Boys, and thinking of how I'd love to win one of the Blendtec blenders from the magazine subscription give-away. Well, this is my own rendition of "Wouldn't It Be Nice" ode to the blender. Maybe my silly, creative attempt at wooing the blender will earn me good luck!


Wouldn't it be nice to win you, Blendtec
Then I wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live here with me
In my little kitchen where you belong

I know you're gonna make it that much b… Continue
