Everyday Systems

I recently had to write a short introductory bio about myself as I am going to be a speaker at a conference in September. I included all the usual things about my professional qualifications, but bios anymore usually include a touch of the personal with activities and interests.

There has been a lot of discussion in recent threads about how one of the best outcomes of No S is that you are totally freed from the fixation on dieting and weight loss. I know some of us do enjoy those things as hobbies and if that's the case with you, more power to you.

So my challenge, especially to those who are thinking about life without Diet Head perhaps for the first time in a very long time, write your short bio. Start discovering the things that interest you.

My example:

In her free time, Blithe Morning enjoys spending time with her family, kayaking, bicycling around town, reading history and mysteries, and cooking from scratch. She has an interest in sustainable living and the practical Christian life.

I think this could be interesting.

Skykitty is married with no children. Enjoys reading, watching far too much TV and cooking. Is learning Argentine tango and in spare time is trying to write a book.

Nicole is a recently divorced 39-year old mom to 3 amazing boys (10, 13 and 15) who has tried EVERY diet known to womankind! She is a licensed massage therapist who is actually entertaining the crazy idea to go back to school to become and RN. She is thoroughly enjoying being back to her pre-kid weight (take THAT ex husband!) and hopes to keep it off using No S!

Ooo, ooo! My turn!
