I am a young professional working in the wonderful world of journalism who has a knack for creativity but not-yet enough boldness to call myself an "artist." I prefer things homemade - food, gifts, furniture, decor and on and on. I try to see the best in all people and situations, as my mom said, "What makes you better than anyone else?" -- except, of course, if you cut me in line for coffee.

I eat. a lot.

Here's my problem with dieting - I can't.
Clearly I know what is good for me and what isn't, but I go through long periods of just not giving a shit. Then, when cellulite's bumpy head pops up in places no one should be, I panic.

So, here I am, on a health kick again -- also hoping to god I fit in my, or any, gown when I give up my title as Miss Hooksett in November.

My latest is going gluten-free. I've convinced myself after months of binge drinking beer and stuffing my face with pizza and pasta, I feel terrible because I have a gluten sensitivity.
After one week, I do have to admit this is the first time I've been on a "diet" and not felt deprived. I can still have my share of carbs with potatoes, corn and rice, just no oats or wheat. I feel less bloated, and have more energy through out the day -- but my stuffy nose I was hoping would go away hasn't and I didn't magically become an up and at 'em morning person... damn.

Here's a little glimpse at my most recent eating habits because yea, I'm one of those #foodporn instagram addicts.

  1. Hi Jamie--I was reluctant to read your article on the breast cancer series because my mother also had it. But I forced myself to and I'm glad I did--it was a great article and I know just how you feel about avoiding events.

    I would like to contact you about my book The Diary of An American Expatriate (AUK, London, 2012) because in 2008, right before the election, I was living in Dover, NH, and would be leaving only a couple weeks later to become an expat in Malta. In fact, I met the (then) Senator Obama and got to speak to him in a very memorable way when he came to Dover.

    I'd like to tell you more, but I don't have a way to directly contact you. In order to contact you on Linked-In--I had to upgrade. Would you please contact me via my website www.An-American-in-Malta?

    Best Wishes,
    Ilene Springer
