OPINION: "At the end of the day, I’d groan because once again I’d forgotten to take my vitamins. I’d feel a wave of guilt flood over me for having 'just one more glass of wine.' My belly jiggled, but putting on shoes to go for a walk took too much energy," writes Tucsonan Kathleen Bethel.

OPINION: "What surprises me, is that I am braver than many of the men who are currently serving in our Legislature, Senate, and Supreme Court. I’d say some of them are as scared as a little girl, but that would be insulting. Little girls are brave," writes Tucsonan Kathleen Bethel. 

OPINION: "What I didn’t realize is that I had learned to very efficiently block out any annoying and distracting signs that it might be time to reconsider my choices. They say the body keeps the score – and indeed it does. Problems continued," writes Tucsonan Kathleen Bethel.
