		<title>Same me, new day.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I&#8217;m stuck. I&#8217;ve been stuck here for two years. I think that I shall NEVER break this barrier. I have been flirting with the same constant weight now for 18 months &#8212; 210. They say it&#8217;s good to maintain your weight, not to increase or decrease, but by God, this is not good.

		<title>Penalty!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lucky me. Not only have I fallen off the bandwagon of blogging, I&#8217;ve fallen off the diet binge too. While I haven&#8217;t really gained weight, I&#8217;ve not lost it, either. Now I&#8217;m being penalized by my new insurance carrier for being overweight and aged. I get to pay a 25% premium for my health insurance. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Commitment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past two weeks, I&#8217;ve put on .8 pounds, according the the beast of a scale Weight Watchers runs. But I still feel thinner, even if I&#8217;m not. When I learned about my gain last night, I was ready to walk right out. Not to eat, but basically not to listen to anymore bullshit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tastebuds return.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s safe to say that I now appreciate food more than ever.  Everything tastes better. And in the small quantites in which I&#8217;m permitted to eat, I savor every bite.
There&#8217;s goodness in this, I suppose. As much as I said I loved food and wine, maybe I wasn&#8217;t really appreciating all the tasty things [...]]]></description>

		<title>67 pounds.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The way I see it, 67 pounds is a lot to haul around. It&#8217;s as big as my dog, Semi. It&#8217;s more than 50 lb. bag of dog food. It weighs more than a sixth grader. It&#8217;s a third bigger than my other dog, Baci. It&#8217;s about half of a small woman. 
That&#8217;s a lot! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is anyone else hungry?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m hungry a lot. Most of the time, in fact. Particularly on this diet. As soon as I&#8217;m done, I&#8217;m ready for more. It&#8217;s the same after 20 minutes, which only goes to show that waiting 20 minutes doesn&#8217;t necessarily improve the situation.
Since starting this plan a couple of weeks ago, I have had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seared Cauliflower with Chicken</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know there are lots of cauliflower haters out there, but this can change your mind. Thanks to Michael Schlow for the inspiration -- this version is lighter than his. Side note: It helps to get all of the ingredients ready before you start cooking, as this dish comes together quickly.]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;If&#8221; to &#8220;when.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My partner pointed out to me yesterday that I always say &#8220;if I could lose this weight &#8230;&#8221; instead of &#8220;when I lose this weight.&#8221;
It&#8217;s an important distinction. I&#8217;ve always said &#8220;if&#8221; because I was pretty sure I&#8217;d fail miserably. But now I think I&#8217;m going to say &#8220;when,&#8221; even though I&#8217;m still not convinced [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strength and Fear.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time it feels different. Maybe it&#8217;s the fear of beinig fat at 45, or health concerns, or being sick of being fat. But somehow I&#8217;m feeling like it&#8217;s actually possible to lose this weight. Yesterday I was doing a photoshoot with a client, and two interesting things happened.
First, I asked the photographer to take [...]]]></description>
