Since yesterday afternoon my home phone/land line has been broken, which, you know, who cares? But that also meant my DSL was out, so ACK! The plan was that this morning, I would post about my guest blog over at My Favorite Author as part of Body Image Week. Thwarted by technology! But it’s working now, so here we go…

There’s been something fairly major (to me) that’s been going on in my life the last month and I decided I wasn’t ready to blog about it, and I wasn’t sure I ever would. Then, SpeedReader at MFA invited me to contribute to Body Image Week and it seemed like time to talk about it. Not too long after my big post about the Photoshopping debacle, I was diagnosed with diabetes (type 2), and my world and my relationship with my body totally got rocked, and is still rocking. Here’s the post about it.

And, I want to say, I’m doing really well. The diabetes challenges me in the same old places that have always been issues: perfectionism, life balance, discipline, understanding the concept of “enough,” self-acceptance, anger, disappointment. Etc! I’m writing about it, too, just not on my blog. It’s not that I’m trying to hide anything, I just generally think hearing about people’s medical issues is boring unless you happen to have those same issues. 

Okay, that is all! I hope you are all doing the Body Week challenge. It’s not too late to start!
