Did I mention that I am on a diet ?
A diet from pictures of air-brushed women, faking perfectionism.
A diet from advertising that makes me feel lacking, vulnerable and unsafe then shows me a product to 'fix' that feeling.
A diet from news stories that make me subconsciously prepare for when I will experience a kidnapping, tsunami, economic destruction, coma, civil war, locust plague, divorce, workplace harassment or breast cancer.
As with my commitment to real food I will commit to real life. I will practice gratitude instead of feelings of imperfection, shame and unworthiness.
I will rejoice in my imperfections. i have missed out on too much fun already to waste time on trying got be perfect.

Beautifully put! I think I need to go on a diet, too :)
Hallelujah! I'm hearin' you sister :)
Wonderful. Women in the U.S. are bombarded constantly with.... all the stuff you are going on a diet to escape from. Good for you. I'll hoist a glass and join you. Wonderful post.
How absolutely perfect. I should join you.
We've been on this diet for quite a while now...great for mental clarification, spritual cleansing, emotional fortitude, and bonding with others. So pleased someone else is seeing the benefits. Congratulations!
