A while ago I saw a TV show about meth, and a guy said the single hardest piece of getting off the stuff was not giving it up. Rather, he said the hardest thing was to change every single aspect of his life. Because every single piece of his life was connected to meth.
I thought […]

Ok, so I’m getting back into it. I’m even getting by without wine with my dinner. It’s a sacrifice for me, although it’s probably not nearly as challenging for someone else.
I figure I’m down about a pound. Not bad for something that started on Monday. Everytime I want to veer off course, I remember that […]

I made it through the first day of Weight Watchers. I didn’t cheat, I got a little exercise with the dogs, ate well and went to bed early. The first meeting was instructive, in that the team there surmised that I need to lose 67 pounds to achieve my ideal weight. Here’s what’s sad about […]

For the last 25 years, I’ve been fat. Once or twice, I’ve managed to lose enough weight to be called average, but mostly, I’ve just been fat.
It’s pretty clear that all the diets, pills, snake oils and other potions I’ve tried haven’t worked. I’m still just plain fat. I even created this blog […]

This is awful!
I’m getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Soon I’ll be fatter than I’ve ever been. And yet … today I don’t care! I’m sick of worrying about it. I’m tired of fighting the good fight. By golly, I feel like it’s just not going to get better, and that I’m never going […]

Did anyone else see the show that featured the one-ton brother and sister? Together, they weighed just more than 1,100 pounds. Now that’s fat.
But I have questions about this. First of all, at what point do you just give up entirely? Is it when you can’t reach around your backside to take care of business […]

I just came home from CES in Las Vegas, and the fact that I survived now means that I can really knuckle down on my diet. Las Vegas may be the food capital (since every major chef seems to have a restaurant there), but I can tell you that I saw NONE of that. Instead, […]

So here’s my resolution. I am going to resume regular posting. I’m going to post more recipes that comply with Weight Watchers. And I’m even going to go back to Weight Watchers (I think I can stomach it).

What would happen if everyone lost weight and were thin and beautiful? What if we all looked just the way we wanted to? Like Catherine Deneuve, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron or Audrey Hepburn? Or Cary Grant, Brad Pitt or George Clooney?
Or would it be better, frankly, to be ourselves and look more like Rosie O’Donnell […]

What if I don’t like having pendulous breasts, thunder thighs and flap-in-the-wind triceps? Should I just love myself and say to hell with it?
