StickK with It
I heard an article about StickK.com on NPR this morning. It’s a website that makes you put up money and if you don’t lose weight, you lose the money (to charity). I signed up with a 52-week goal of losing 37 pounds and a commitment of $2/week. If I lose at least the required amount … Continue reading
Diet Depression
I thought I was going to make it through the day without eating anything off my diet. But I had a couple of bites of pecan pie, and I had more than a few handfuls of trail mix. No wonder I’m not losing any weight at all – I’m still totally sedentary and I’m still … Continue reading
Bullets Because I Cannot Think
I have had a headache for two and a half days now. I forgot that I had put my tiny diamond earrings on the bed, and then I went and slept in the bed. They are not lost, they are just missing – either on the bed or the floor. But it’s going to be … Continue reading
Unsatisfying
It’s very disappointing when you decide “screw the diet, I haven’t had chocolate chip pancakes in a million years, that’s what I’m going to get” and then they are not very good and not very chocolatey at all.
High Tea at the Ritz
I was going to write about high tea at the Ritz-Carlton for :A:’s birthday, but I felt like telling the story in ASL instead. So you can view the video for that here (WMV file), and the translation follows. There’s a bit of Truffle in there too.
Food and Money
A friend of mine, who shall remain nameless unless e chooses to identify emself, posted recently about spending money on food and then throwing it away. My friend said that wasting money, but saving calories/fat, was still a waste. I have a very different approach. I have been dieting, in various forms, for a few … Continue reading
Bullet Update
Today I am down to 161 pounds. I started 2006 at 187.5 pounds. That’s progress, but I still have a while to go. I now know three people who have the Sidekick 3. I am not one of them, and I only ever see one in person but he doesn’t usually have his with him … Continue reading
NutriSystem and More
I’m going to quit Diet to Go for a month and try NutriSystem‘s all-vegetarian diet. It doesn’t have as much variety and the food isn’t fresh (you don’t even have to refrigerate or freeze any of it, although you do buy your own fruits and veggies), so I probably won’t stay on it for a … Continue reading
Can Birthdays and Diets Be Friends?
Today is my 25th birthday, and I am fretting about whether or not to go out to dinner. I have done extremely well with my diet, and I haven’t eaten anything inappropriate even in the face of emotional adversity. But it’s my birthday, and I want to go out to dinner. My plans are very … Continue reading
Hanging in There
Hi everybody. I’m hanging in there okay. I was very sad at home this morning, and when I got to work I was looking at cremation jewelry so I was still kind of mopey, but I’ve been goofing off for a while so I’m doing okay now. Wu is always somewhere in my thoughts, but … Continue reading
