Upcoming Review: “Getting a Grip”
I blogged about wanting to read tennis great Monica Seles’ latest book, Getting a Grip a while back. The book explores her journey to overcome emotional/binge eating in the face of great adversity, and showcases her ability to triumph both on and off the court in her ultimate battle with weight and self-acceptance.
Well, last week her publisher sent me an e-mail asking if I’d be interested in reviewing the book … would I ever!! The book arrived today, and I hope to have a review out by this weekend. I can’t wait; I think it’ll be extremely relatable and I’m eager to begin it tonight 
Has anyone read this yet?

Walking the Talk
For more than nine weeks now, I’ve been talking the talk and walking the talk when it comes to my ugliest disordered eating habit: chewing and spitting.
Since I haven’t chewed or spit, I’ve felt pretty darn awesome and proud, in case you can’t tell. 
But in spite of this awesome progress, I’m not walking the talk 100 percent just yet.
How so? Well, I still struggle with impulse buys and impulse eats, often the very same things in my pre-chewing-and-spitting days I shunned … and then later chewed and spit. Stuff like chocolate, or Chex mix, or Luna bars. (more…)
