OMG- savory oats are redic. they look sooooo good.

I like my whole body, but it has to do with how i’m feeling. i either totally rock it- or totally eff it up. my body is an all or nothing kind of thing. but usually, i like my forearms and stomach. :)

and basically, this is a beautiiful post susan. i really have no words- i think i summed it up in one of my last comments to you.

Wow that’s powerful. I didn’t know specifically about your depression and how fortunate that you are that you came through virtually unscathed.

You are so right about the two kinds of bloggers. I am in the same camp as you.

Physically: I’d say my eyes. Non-physically- my appreciation for humor.

Have fun with Mama Balance! :-)

I think that this is SUCH an important thing to write about regardless of where you are with weight/eating/life.

ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE YOU!

I have been thinking a lot about that recently. I can bitch and moan that I am not this or that, or that I am not working out enough. However, what it boils down to is a personal responsibility that I have to insure whatever state I am in.

I love that my collarbones are sexy and I love LOVE my smile. I love that I am organised and compassionate.

I love, love, LOVE my big green eyes :) As for my personality, I love that I am a very simple person. Being simple is what brought Liam and I together :)

Thank you for writing this wonderful post! I love my strong legs that stay muscular and toned no matter what I do and I feel very lucky that I am so comfortable with new and changing situations.

This was a wonderful post – so true. I think that you were very blessed to have a great set of parents and a psychologist who was great. And you are a strong person as well. Thanks for sharing this!

I like that I am pretty patient and I love that I’ve been blessed with children.

I agree with Ellie’s statements (and your response to her statements, and your post, per usual!). I also kinda talked about “dark places” in my last blog post, although I was rather vague. My experience with depression, which goes back pretty far, is that while it’s possible to “pull myself out of it,” it’s sometimes easier or more comfortable not to. I joke with my boyfriend that I prefer being sad to happy, but sometimes that’s how it feels and it’s SO hard to explain because it makes no sense.

Ok moving on with that…I like my eyes too, and I also like my legs..I feel like they are strong without looking too bulky. And I need them to get me across that half-marathon finish line in August! Personality wise, I am a pretty nurturing and giving person, and I like that.

i agree with almost everything you have to say in this post! although i do stumble upon another type of “food” blogger — the one who posts about cooking, eating, finding, tasting…sort of like a paula dean or ina garten. there is a part of me that hopes those bloggers have a pure love of food and it’s as plain and simple as that.

but, i think the whole body love/self love is pretty universal. i think what i love about food bloggers is even though we slip, we are all making strides ;)

You were very lucky to have a good psychologist. There are many very bad ones out there…

I really liked this post :)
