Cont... "Should that need to be said? No. Does it need to be said? Yes." I think I'm in love with the author. Ha!

"When people tell me I'm unhealthy because of my weight, I often remind them that I am unhealthy because of chronic illness. Suddenly, they don't know how to proceed. The thing is, if you are health shaming someone because of their weight, then you are health shaming them for everything. The concept of health itself is so complex that it is not something strangers can simply comment on, or even friends and family."

Barely started, but I will come back around to this soon. Not going to fall onto my "dropped off" list.

"I think we don't always realize just how much of how we were socialized needs to be challenged and how much that corresponds to how we feel about our bodies." Another banger quote.

23/126 on audio book. so far this one isn't a winner.

Started this today cause RP on GTA and WRP was SLOOOW. Don't know how long it'll take me to get through. Been working hard on my health concerns after moving so I haven't been reading or listening to audio books. I'm on chapter 11/126 on the audio book.

Started this and it's not what I expected. I don't know if I'll finish it.

Started getting through this a bit in the background at night.

Read some waiting around at my doctor's appt. The more I read about Yogic Philosophy, the more I see modern western medicine agreeing with what was known in 2 BCE. A lot of CBT and therapy. It's wild for my brain to keep making these connections.

Finished book 1- onto book 2!

havent started this yet. arrived in the mail today for my upcoming chronic pain class at the end of march. i have a feeling i'm going to read the whole book though given the state of my life.

i'm marking each quote i find that resonates with me. it's not light reading, but i'm enjoying it none the less.

Back to this book. Got it back from the library again.

More listening on the bus. I’m not a fan of the person reading the book on the audio book.

This audio book is short and narrated by oprah! that's fun.

nice

I have a goal to finish this book today.

Made it through Shinto and I'm reading the extra notes and looking at the appendixes in the back. Feels really comprehensive and when I move into books that go into the details of the religions I'm glad I have the context this book is providing.
