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 from time [...]

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 again; [...]

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 it. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sometimes I act like a jerk and make a fool of myself, and the self-recrimination and mortification is so painful that it makes me ill with vicious self-loathing. Sometimes I behave rather badly. Sometimes I am confronted with my physical weakness. Sometimes I am lying face down in a pool of my own sweat on a [...]

Monday, January 18, 2010
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. Someday I [...]
