Great, great post. I found myself questioning all sorts of things about myself. And, I love knowing these things about you, Lisa. You are so strong! Strong as a role model, even in a "broken" state. Broken heart, broken perceptions. Your pursuit to fix yourself is absolutely beautiful and I am so grateful you let us (me) in to your world so transparently.
I won't look at coffee yogurt the same way again ... not without smiling and frowning at the same time. This is also a good reminder to use caution with the kids. I'm gushing - can't help it Nickie
This is so beautiful, and so true. Good for you, for figuring out how to re-parent yourself around food. So many of us need this... to take away the taboos around food and let ourselves find a balance that doesn't make us "bad" for eating "bad" food and "good" for eating "good" food, but honors what our body needs. I've been working a lot with body issues myself... I found meditation and yoga helped with both my eating and my body-image. kimberyoga.blogspot.com. Good luck and I'll look forward to hearing more about your journey!
I am taking your life lesson to heart, thank you for posting it. I have been scouring the web in a mad search to find out where I can buy Dannon Coffee Yogurt since my store stopped selling it.

Nickie, You f*cking rock. Thank you!
HA! Back atcha BABE!
Fantastic post! I have found that I am healing from years of disordered eating in the same way. I feel as if food has 'lost its power'.
I actually discussed the concept in this post:

Great job, Lisa!
