The 5oz Foodie

It still never ceases to amaze me what I learn when I go to acupuncture... Our body tells us so many things if we allow it to... Plus it is just mind blowing that a pin in one part of your body helps an organ in another... It just proves once again how fearfully and wonderfully made we each are... I am still so very thankful that my boss told me about my acupuncturist... With therapy and the health coach a few years back and now my acupuncturist, I feel like I am making strides in my battle with self-esteem and self image... For once, like my blog, I don't feel like giving up... love, peace and stay the course... Musicsongbird

Tuesdays are always one of my favorite days because they are acupuncture days... Today I think I had the most weirdest pin point... When the pin point has a tendency to hurt more, my acupuncturist refers to them as ouchie points... So I had to breathe really deep and then cough like I have never coughed before, and when I did it hurt but only for a few seconds... Now what happened over the next 40 minutes or so was weird... The pin was in my right foot but the weird sensations went through my left side... My mind went clear for a bit and I began to relax and before too long, my body started to spasm to tell me it was done with the needles... It's amazing because I feel so relaxed, I have great quiet time with God and He gives me rest as well... I told my acupuncturist I have been feeling really anxious because my TA could possibly be ending on the first of June and she said something really insightful... She said, "What happens at the end of a book?" I said,...

Everyday I find a reason to smile a little bit more... The hurt is lessening, the fear isn't quite as strong...It's amazing to think about all of things in my life that I have overcome... But it's a little scary to know that my journey to a healthy mental/emotional me isn't over... The great thing I know in my heart is that I have an amazing support system to watch over me and be there when I need them... Mom, BFF and Pin Doc are so supportive and I thank them for being here for me whenever I need them... Over the past month at the Pin Doc I have been working through some deep issues and it's funny because today I really started to feel how my body is reacting... The Pin Doc has these amazing zero gravity chairs that Mom and I sit in during our sessions and they are totally comfy the way they allow you to relax...normally... However, I have noticed that ever since the unleashing of the kraken (my inner turmoil), when I sit down and then sit back, my body is very...

It is incredible how the body reacts when you are emotionally unloading... I'm not really sure how to even explain this... My acupuncturist will now be referred to as Pin Doc... As my Pin Doc explained it, I had to purge the memories and thus purging the emotions and then the physical toll the ordeal played on my body... At least this is how I am understanding it... It's like our bodies have emotional memory of trauma and when we face that trauma to remove the pain of it's memory, our body can also react by purging the memory as well, so in my case... I was sick to my stomach over night... I woke up around 6:30 to try and get ready for work, I took my shower and tried to eat to test my stomach and when 7 hit I knew I wasn't going to make it in, so I called out... I then returned to bed to wake up again around 10:30... My head was pounding with a migraine so I took some medicine and transferred out to the love seat. When Mom came home from church she made me lunch and th...

All the hard work my acupuncturist did on my back today may have been undone in the 3 minutes it took us to round up the kittens, which hence forth shall be known as Minions, and put them into the small bathroom for their second evening of extreme potty training.  Except this evening they will be Mommy free. We are hoping they will do a better job using the liter box if their Mom doesn't use it also. I pray this works, and I also pray that loving families will want to give these beautiful Minions (kittens) a home... Well, I typed too soon, because Mommy is with her Minions. A good friend once told me that when I write something I meant it and so just go on from there. So that is what I am trying to do... Something happened at Mom's Dr. visit today and we brought it up to our acupuncturist and she said something pretty enlightening. Now a days or maybe it has truly been always, when you go to the doctor you tell them what is wrong and then they try and fix it, right?...
