New Clothes Make the Journey Fun
I’m a satisfied customer! After striking out at Kohl’s, I found two new shirts and pairs of pants for work at The Limited and New York & Co., respectively. This shopping outing was both a mini-reward for hitting 35 lbs lost and, let’s face it, sorely needed. My previous go-to work outfits were drooping all [...]

Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Today I weighed in at 168 lbs. This is fantastic because: I lost 2 lbs over the past week. I hit my next milestone of 35 lbs lost. I am now no longer obese!! I am so happy to say goodbye to Obese and hello to Overweight (but not for long!). In September when I [...]

Saturday, January 16, 2010
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 [...]

Thursday, December 31, 2009
This week’s weigh-in had to wait until this morning, since I was away visiting family for the past week. I treated Christmas Day as a “free day” (I didn’t count calories) but otherwise counted every single day, and stayed within my “budget.” This activity was considerably assisted by the new iPhone I received for Christmas—and [...]

Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Into the 170s . . . by a hair! This is starting to be a pattern, me inching sneakily into the next weight decade. I am thrilled to have lost 2 lbs over Thanksgiving week, and I also know that I can attribute some of my success to the fact that: 1. I did some [...]

Plus-size shopping is tough sometimes. Unless you’re into paisley (no), polyester (meh), and sequins (sometimes). What’s worse is that many “normal” stores do sell some plus-size clothing—but only in an on-line ghetto. Thank you, Old Navy. I’m talking to you. Don’t try to tell me there’s anything “exclusive” about your exclusively online plus-size collection. I [...]

Tuesday, November 17, 2009
I’m incredibly excited to report that I lost 2 lbs this past week, bring my total lost to 20 lbs! This is awesome. Let me count the ways: I hit my next 5-lb milestone. As you can see on my Progress/Rewards page, I’ll be treating myself to some new perfume. Any favorites to suggest? I [...]

Monday, November 16, 2009
When I started this weight-loss effort a little over two months ago, I was not bursting with confidence. I felt nervous, cautious, and uncertain. I wasn’t radiating optimism or certain of anything at all. All I had was that tiny, perilously flickering glow of hope, that seed of “maybe” planted inside me. It felt like [...]

Wednesday, November 11, 2009
At 18 lbs down from my heaviest weight with another 60 lbs still to go, I find that my weight loss doesn’t seem to be noticeable to most people I see almost every day. However, in the past few days there have been some little good signs that positive changes really are taking place. Sunday [...]
