I eat mostly intuitively. I move my body almost every day. And here’s a snapshot of said body. My BMI says I’m obese. My belly looks lumpy and it is the antithesis of flat. Agree to disagree but I have no intention of losing weight or even trying to change my shape. Because something deep…

I don’t have too much to share today because, well, I’m in the throws of COVID recovery. If I haven’t mentioned it before- fucking COVID. Anyway, today is much better than yesterday but when I start feeling better I tend to be an over-doer and I definitely over did it. My bed space is calling…
