Progress Photos and the Days In Between
Lyn, who writes the well-known blog Escape from Obesity, shared the following thought on Twitter a while back: Being fat is hard. Losing weight is hard. Maintaining is hard. Choose your hard. When I read that, I thought: This here is a not-so-pretty slice of truth. I still come back to that nugget of wisdom [...]

Yesterday was a bad day. It just was. And for the first time in almost 5 months, I went “off-plan” with my eating and ordered and ate 2/3 of a big Mexican dinner. I wanted to eat the whole thing; guess I’m not as chompy as I used to be. Today I’ve been eating normally [...]

Wow, am I in a grouchy mood today. No soda, my iPhone died this morning, uncertain weather and boot camp tonight. In the grand scheme of things, stuff like this doesn’t even register as a blip on the radar. But today I am feeling foul-tempered. I am sticking to my plan; I’m just grumpy about [...]

Yesterday was my first day off the Diet Dr Smack, and I missed it sorely—both physically and psychologically. Evidently I’d gotten used to thinking of my two 20-ounce bottles of diet soda per day as my work-day “treats” (the way candy used to be). So I had a bit of a pity party in my [...]

A few photos of me in all my glory (i.e., baggy sweats and no makeup) at the boot camp I attended Saturday morning: In the right and left pictures, I’m doing wall balls with a 6-lb medicine ball (you can’t see the “wall,” but just above me there was a concrete partition). In the center [...]

Looking back at yesterday’s post, I’m glad you guys didn’t write me off as a total drama queen. On the face of it, all that happened was that I gained a single pound. I’m glad you were able to look a little deeper than the surface and offer such kind and helpful comments, because as [...]

At different angles, my face can look totally different—something I learned while I was at my heaviest and attempting to take self-portraits. At very specific angles, my face didn’t look so fat. It was an optical illusion of sorts. Both of these pictures were taken today within minutes of each other: It’s all about angles. [...]

Last night everything felt pointless, boring, and tedious. Life felt devoid of purpose. I wanted a giant cupcake really badly because my emotions felt so intense and throughout my life I guess I got really used to soothing myself in such a way. It felt horrible not going to my old go-to, you know? I [...]

The person speaking to me was the older man behind the register at the 7-11 where a friend and I were buying cheap alcohol for a party about five years ago. He looked at my driver’s license, looked at me, looked back down at my I.D. and said, “This isn’t you.” My friend looked merely [...]
