Mind games

I have had trouble with mind games before, am I really hungry? No, just bored, go for a walk instead. But the biggest mind game I'm having trouble with is looking in the mirror. When I look in the mirror I see the 265 pound Lisha. Not the 175 pound…

Two weeks into my time in Cortona, Italy.  My goal was to move away from the tourist mentality to a "what is it like to live here" one, but it has been a continuum shall we say.  There is so much to see and do here that the tourist side…

Having a wonderful time in Cortona trying to balance both the "regularly living" and "being a tourist."  It is difficult to get away from the tourist mode as there is so much to see and explore.  Churches and food seem to dominate!  With the mouth issues, I can't take advantage…
