Day One

A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself


So thats a picture I took on Friday just before I headed off to a wedding

Now for the "interesting" facts...

1. I have a birthmark in the colored part of my eye... my eyes are blue but the birthmark is a brown spot

2. My husband and I had a surprise wedding, it was a birthday party for my daughter's fourth birthday and we stood up half way through and announced we were getting married

3. I have known my husband since we were 10 years old and I have been in love with him since the first day I met him!

4. I prescribe to no religion in particular but believe in a higher power and the power of the universe as well as the concept of karma. I paradoxically believe in both fate and free will, I believe that we make our own decisions and guide our own path but that there are certain events and lessons in life that will happen regardless of our actions.

5. I suffer from chronic depression and have done since I was about 13. Somedays I struggle simply just to function but find the strength to carry on from my husband, kids, mum, family and friends.

6. I am a fiercely loyal friend and would do anything, absolutely anything, for the people I care about

7. I have started 6 degrees and never finished any of them... I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up

8. One of my favorite saying is "I love you in the face" which I occasionally shorten to face love when I'm feeling lazy... I think its Kacy's fault, her and her damn love for Grum's face!

9. I adore film and am probably a bit of a movie whore... I enjoy even the worst movies and can always find something to love about most of the movies I see... I have a dream of being a movie reviewer but know that I would probably suck at it because I love all movies and would struggle to be objective!

10. I grew up in Darwin which is one of the best places in the whole world to grow up. I grew up immersed with diverse cultures, traditions, cuisines, languages etc etc and am thankful for how that childhood has contributed to making me the accepting person I am today.

11. I have a little bit of a fetish for thin, sexy, anime men... I blame my Nanna for buying me Captain Harlock on Beta Video when I was little

12. I love receiving things in the mail (that aren't bills or grown up mail) so please feel free to post me things TIffany, PO Box 247, Gosnells WA 6990.

13. I would totally turn lesbian for Angelina Jolie

14. My two favorite books are The Time Travellers Wife and The Little Hut of Leaping Fishes

15. As well as film I also adore music, especially Australian music and would attend every single live show in Perth if I could afford it (and didn't actually enjoy spending time with my kids)

Well thats 15 things... I don't know if they are particularly interesting or not but I struggle to write these sorts of lists... maybe I'll try again later...

I don't want to do this anymore

I am so over it right now. Everything feels hard. Everything feels shit. Everything makes me want to cry. I don't want to be a person any more. I don't want to be an anything any more. My children are smart. They get good grades, score well on NAPLAN, their teachers love them. Why then must they continue to do stupid things? I am so sick of a child running to tell me that so-and-so did such-and-such to me, I am sick of them hurting each other, I am sick of them destroying things, I am sick of them whinging, complaining, walking past rubbish on the floor, leaving shit everywhere, pretending they can't see the dog wee on the floor, having rooms that looking like the aftermath of a break and enter. I am sick of washing dishes, of sweeping floors, of the endless amounts of washing and folding and cleaning and tidying and cooking and planning and thinking. I am sick of feeling guilty for not being able to do those things that I should be doing, of feeling guilty that my husband...

Week One... Or Should I Say Week Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Nine...

 That's how many weeks I have been alive (give or take a couple of days). Two thousand one hundred and seventy-nine. Yet here I am still fighting the same fights I have always fought. Self-image, self-acceptance, unrelenting standards, imposter syndrome.  Once again I find myself in a body that feels uncomfortable and unhealthy. It crept up on me slowly and suddenly all at the same time. I still barely eat any refined sugar. I turn down the lollies and cakes and doughnuts at work. It's not even a struggle, I no longer enjoy the way sugar makes my body feel. But my old nemesis, potato chips, remains undefeated. I eat potato chips to fill the emptiness in my soul. To feel as miserable physically as I do mentally or emotionally. To get comfort from an association with my childhood. It is the struggle I can't overcome. The war I can't win. So after months of trying on my own to no avail, months of the scales not budging, I have signed up for a healthy eating plan. I'm n...

Confessions of a Fat Girl

I have been concerned about my weight and appearance ever since I was 12. I was teased in primary school for being fat and called names like porky. Here is a picture from my Year 7 Graduation to illustrate how fat and disgusting I was I say fat and disgusting because I truly believed when I was 12 that I was some hideously fat monster that no boy would ever want to kiss, no boy would ever want to go out with, no boy would ever love. It makes me so sad looking at this photo to know that I was so slim, so pretty, my life should have been full of wonder and possibility. Instead I began my journey down the long dark road that has led me to the depths of depression and an obsession with my weight (but thankfully never an eating disorder) and today it has led me to make this confession... I am currently the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life. I have eaten myself to the weight I never wanted to be. I am the exact thing I was teased for being. Along with the fact that I don...
