There's...Ah Shivani, this is an inspiring post. There's a post I've been considering writing for PCP, but it'll be a painful one to write as the issues in it are things that I've rarely talked about with people. Your raw honesty in this post was helpful in confirming that I need to start working on it. <br /><br />You're a beautiful woman and hope one day soon that I'll make it up to NYC to meet Elena and perhaps get lucky enough to meet you and Emily, as well.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05225671622621614904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603277003938294305.post-14359012603283724862010-08-13T07:27:13.141-07:002010-08-13T07:27:13.141-07:00Shivani, I also have fatty knees!!! :) Shall we ma...Shivani, I also have fatty knees!!! :) Shall we make a Fatty Knees Club? Imagine the amount of friends we could have at the FKC.<br />But seriously, on those dark moments of knee loathing, remember how hot the rest of your body looks and the long way we still have to transform it further.<br /><br />As horrible as they are, those moments of anxiety, social pressure and awkwardness are revealing. Given some distance, time and mindfulness, they will show you that you are doing fine, that you are only getting better, even if sometimes you feel so wrong.<br /><br />Come and visit me! We will have a fruit and dance therapy together.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972188087635511721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603277003938294305.post-68487472779184171802010-08-12T20:33:11.867-07:002010-08-12T20:33:11.867-07:00Hey Shivani, I've been thinking about you!

I think it's good that you're willing to explore this stuff (comfort eating, body issues); it's something that has been on my mind lately and I think a lot of people struggle with it, me included. I hope it will be helpful to yourself AND I think it will be to other people that you are doing this. Keep up the good fight!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426092641984030099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603277003938294305.post-54290328128385584702010-08-10T02:54:00.225-07:002010-08-10T02:54:00.225-07:00I was telling someone debating between PCP and KFB...I was telling someone debating between PCP and KFB this...<br /><br />"On PCP you get a good burn, but KFB is more intellectual churn"<br /><br />This is exactly what I want from participants. Looking into the black depths of your mind and living to tell the tale. After that you can only be stronger, in the important ways.<br /><br />And put your transgressions into the light of the "average American" who wouldn't even register that there was anything wrong with what you described at the party.<br /><br />You're all right Shivani!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782939552918603423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603277003938294305.post-67036952939524938892010-08-09T18:42:38.854-07:002010-08-09T18:42:38.854-07:00First of all, no matter what you feel about what t...First of all, no matter what you feel about what the outcome SHOULD look like, YOU'RE DOING GREAT! We're each having a different experience, and we'll all get different results—because each of us faces different hurdles. <br /><br />Kudos for diving into therapy. It can be scary stuff, but I don't think I could have had the same success on PCP w/o being able to explore my own food and body issues with my therapist. Just be kind to yourself—and patient. Change takes time, and you probably won't even notice it till after it has happened. It can, at times, be very unsatisfying in that way...Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373679847304439265noreply@blogger.com
