No Resolutions For Me This Year
No Resolutions For Me This Year I’m not making any resolutions this year. I plan on staying on my diet as I have been. Since Thanksgiving things have been a little more funky than usual, but I haven’t blown it – except for blow days. I do, however plan on starting to exercise. I haven’t [...]
Win A Laptop
Win A Laptop Since I seem to have a bit of writer’s block, I’ve decided to enter a contest. A contest that is offering up a water resistant laptop – which would be good for me since I drink alot of water while trying to lose weight – and I spill alot of water too. [...]
Todays Food
Today’s Food so far includes: Coffee, black olives and low fat eggnog for breakfast. (The other half brought home the eggnog. He says: this one only has 25 grams of sugar! Oooh….) Bread with real butter. And since I’ve already gone to hell with myself, cooking has included butter in everything. And half and half [...]
Thanksgiving Food
Thanksgiving Food As I begin shopping for Thanksgiving – me being my food obsessed self is wondering whether or not to get dessert. At this point I really don’t want it. Since my family isn’t what you would call normal, we haven’t done the holidays in a normal way for years. I cook dinner – [...]
Blow My Diet Day
Blow My Diet Day Today was the day. Since I am now officially 48 years old, I decided to blow my diet on doritos, pizza and chocolate cake. I’ve been looking forward to this since May. Oh, and I ate some butter on bread that has some high fructose corn syrup in it. Back to [...]
Chunky Chili
Chunky Chili Made a pot of chili yesterday. Chunky chili. And it’s not chunky because of the beans either. The tomato sauce itself is chunky. You can cut it with a knife. I remember the days when I could cook and it came out looking and acting like food…
Halloween Temptation Looms
Halloween Temptation Looms The temptation of Halloween candy looms just beyond the perimeter of thinking. I can smell the candy. It’s not in the house, yet, but I can smell it still. Will I be able to withstand the temptation? After everybody is sleeping, will the candy call to me before it leaves the house [...]
Doctors Cancer and Shingles
Doctors Cancer and Shingles This post is not really related to weight loss. It’s related to shingles, cancer and doctors. And Moms. Let me preface this with the small fact that my mom has lung cancer. She’s had radiation, and has been doing well for a year. She has never experienced any problems as a [...]
Spaghetti Sauce
Spaghetti Sauce I made spaghetti sauce yesterday. I’ve been craving it for at least a week. As a rule, I make a pretty good pot of sauce. A little onion, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, bay leaf. Tomatoes. All simmered for a few hours. It came out tasting very – odd. Not necessarily bad, just odd. [...]
Popcorn
Popcorn Well, the popcorn I went on about the other day got the best of me. It all started with peanuts. A handful of peanuts. Then another handful. Then another. I ate just over a serving of peanuts. And still couldn’t satisfy whatever it is I wanted. Then, I spied the popcorn. Sitting there. Calling [...]
Temptation Looms In The Shadows
Temptation Looms In The Shadows And not even the shadows really. It’s smack dab in front of me. It’s popcorn. And it’s not even the healthy version of popcorn: it’s popcorn that’s deliciously good, out of this world, can’t get enough of it, the melt in your mouth kind of popcorn. It’s not chocolate covered [...]
Big Change Small Change
Make a small change or a big change? I have a hard time making small changes. When I decide I need to do something, like lose weight, I can’t start small. If I start small, then I feel I’m setting myself up for failure. For instance: if I make small changes in my diet, it [...]
Weight Loss Changes
Weight Loss Changes I had a strange experience today. I was walking towards a glass window when I saw someone dressed just like me. Only they were alot thinner. As I approached this stranger, about to compliment them on how well they were dressed, it dawned on me: That’s me! I didn’t even recognize myself. [...]
One Bright Day
I was outside about a month ago in broad daylight. I was looking for food when I realized my butt could be seen. You have probably had that experience before. I felt fat, and I knew that soon I would have to lose some weight. I was a little worried about my butt showing. But [...]
