Finally, medical research that verifies the reason I can’t resist donuts: the perfect ratio of fat/sugar: Dieters’ Best Intentions hijacked by their brains at MSNBC.com So does this mean I don’t have to feel guilty about that half-dozen disaster around Easter?

5 Things Fat Girls Hate About Baseball Games
May 24th, 2009 · Comments Off · weight loss (again)
Since I recently posted the 5 scary things for fat girls, I didn’t want to do another fear list, but don’t be confused: this is a hate/fear combination. Nothing good about the lot. And I don’t presume to speak for all fat girls. Just this one. 1. Modern standardized seats built for people with 1920s [...]

Do You (Not) Hear What I (Don't) Hear?
May 23rd, 2009 · 3 Comments · FoodLife, weight loss (again)
Something funny happened on my way to demolish an entire bag of mini Twix yesterday: I stopped before eating a single one. This incident alone isn’t enough to get me to seek medical attention but combined with a few other seemingly innocent events is a little more startling. Judge for yourself… 1. I haven’t spent [...]

Food Oddity
May 21st, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife
Just made a pan of brownies and read the fine print on the box: For cakelike brownies, use three eggs. Isn’t the point of brownies to make brownies and not cake? If I wanted chococlate cake, can I make brownies with one less egg? Just curious. Still working out, if anyone cares. Jogged twice, third [...]

5 Scary Things for Fat Girls
May 18th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife
I’m not rational. I view the world through the lens of a girl who went to prom in a size 14, not a 4 or 2 like the rest of my friends. Today, while lounging by the pool, I started thinking about things I obssess on which I doubt most skinny girls ever contemplate. In [...]

What the Hell Is This Number and Why Is It On My Scale?
May 15th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife, weight loss (again)
Granted, it’s a pound less than the last time, but 10 more pounds than I started the school year with, and 20 more pounds than when I felt really good. Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those “If a train leaves Chicago going east at 800 mph and a train leaves Boston going west at [...]

Face Shoved in a Pretzel Bag? Must Be 3.
May 14th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife
The problem every time I diet is 3. Yes, you read that right. 3 is the problem. It seems, after years of research conducted by me and the junk food industry of America, 3pm is some type of mystical witching hour over which I have little to no control. Each day, 3pm arrives with minimal [...]

Reason #417 Why I Need to Lose Weight
May 10th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife, weight loss (again)
Yesterday, in an effort to rouse the boy from sleeping at a time when most people are already up and mowing the lawn, I yelled downstairs to ask if he’d like some breakfast. When a suprising “yes” confirmed his interest in eating as well as his actual state of being in the land of the [...]

What? She followed through?!
May 7th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife
I did and I feel fab. Gonna be a bit sore tomorrow, and I only lifted 5-15 pounds for all of the workout but I stuck with it from warmup to cooldown. I even ate pretty well today. The good news is that I weighed in at one less pound today than yesterday (231 to [...]

E-Day
May 7th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife
E-Day. The thing I hate most in the weight-loss effort (though if I want to sustain it, I probably should change my mindset and not hate it). Exercise. For me, it’s as impossible to lose weight without exercise as it is for me to fit into single-digit size clothing. My last huge success (I’ve had [...]
