Desktop lunch review: In the raw
October 11th, 2011
No Comments
As you can see, today’s lunch selection is sparse. That’s because I have a raging headache and the only food that appealed to me when I left for work (more than an hour late) was fruit. Today’s fare is a feast compared to yesterday’s lunch, which was non-existent. You know those stupid people who say [...]
Weigh? Or no weigh?

I don’t want to go to my Weight Watcher weigh-in tomorrow. I haven’t checked my weight at all this week on my bathroom scale, which is calibrated correctly so it matches the one at WW. I have eaten healthy for the most part, but there was a drive-thru incident on Sunday. After I swam laps. [...]

It’s time to get real here. This entry is hard for me to write, but I need to do it. I am 5-foot-1-inch tall. In the summer of 1997, I weighed 150 pounds. That was 15 pounds heavier than my all-time low weight as an adult, 135 pounds in the early 1990s, and more than [...]
Why I am fat

Sometimes you find a little hidden truth about yourself in an entirely unexpected way. I just spent part of my lunch hour cruising my Tumblr dashboard, like I do almost every day. Then I clicked on this link. This was written by a charming and talented young lady I met online via Twitter and in [...]
The “F” bomb

I am one fucked up bitch. Seriously. When I take a good long look at myself from an outsider’s perspective, I can honestly say that I am what is commonly known as a hot mess. Besides being morbidly obese, like the kind of fat that makes vapid Marie Claire hacks cringe, I have a litany [...]
When my knee said, “Enough!”

I have a bad knee. It wasn’t always bad. At one time it kept my upper leg nicely attached to my lower leg, moved in the correct direction when it was supposed to move, supported my weight. All the things a good knee should do. Then one day seven years ago, I fell off a [...]
The words in my head

It’s been a week since I read the Maura Kelly blog post on fashion magazine Marie Claire’s website. In case you missed it you can click here and read it for yourself. I read it. And I read it again. And I was stunned. Then repulsed. Then angry. I went to Twitter, where many of [...]
Throwing in the towel

I have been trying for months to do this on my own. I have failed miserably. I thought that starting this blog would help me be accountable to my weight loss. I thought that if I could find a few supporters, and if I could faithfully post my progress here, that would be enough incentive [...]
Getting my mojo back

I hacked the holy shit out of my thumb a month ago with a mandolin. To help me regain my kitchen confidence, and I am sure hoping it would help him get laid, my husband bought me a KitchenAid Artisan 5 quart stand mixer for Valentine’s Day. I swooned. Of course, I had to try [...]
