I myself have never been able to find out precisely what a feminist is, I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.

I can relate- I'm more upset and frustrated with my obsession with weight/eating/exercising in general than I am with my actual body size. It gets so tiring and I just want it to stop- but my obsessive nature doesn't let me.
Hi, I just found your site. I haven't explored much yet, but I can tell I like it already :)
My biggest problem with losing weight (which it seems I am always trying to do) is my lack of self-control and the things I love to eat - maybe similar to your addictions? I have to work so hard to distract myself from food and overeating.
And once you start dieting, it is hard not to obssess. Arg!
I was thinking about this same subject today. While I was driving I saw a young woman and she was long and lean with long hair and I thought, she looks like what I always wanted to look like. Instead I am short, round, with short hair. Why is it that something I thought I wanted so much was so unachievable during my life so far. Do I think I'm unworthy? Do I fear some changes that may happen as a result of being thin? What the hell is it? Although I've been through years of therapy and recently "graduated" (smile) I can't get to the bottom of this question yet. Do I just love the taste of fat food so much that I refuse to give it up? Am I lazy? Am I just doomed to fatness? Why? More thought will be needed here, but your blog entry has continued the questioning.

I know exactly how you feel. I am at a point where I can fit into very little in my closet and I can't stop eating. I was even sitting on my bed with a jar of chocolate icing. As always, I love you photographs.
Love your photograps and blogs. Look forward to your video paintngs and performance pieces. Will you have them available for viewing online anytime?
I'm working on that, anamika. Hopefully I'll have the videos up soon!
Veronica - you just gave me inspiration!
;-)
Janis - I think I'm just lazy. Although really! What kind of life would it be without wine and chocolate?
Everything okay, Christi? I haven't seen much from your blog, lately. Hope all is well.
Thank you Mr Spkr -
I have no excuse. Things have just kept me from being here. But I'm back! Thanks for your concern.
I'm working on some new things... stay tuned! ;-)
I can relate, Christi. I have struggled with addictions to different things throughout my life. Food is one of them. It seems I get a handle on one addiction and then another one rears its ugly head. It gets frustrating.
I wish you all the best :)

absolutely. I was just thinking the same thing about myself.
