Yesterday I was throwing my own pity party after meeting with the nutritionist about my post-surgical dietary restrictions. That conversation was jolting in a shit-just-got-real kind of way. Today I have a better perspective. My relationship with food has to change and taking the most drastic step of bariatric surgery will help force that change. [...]

Desktop lunch review: Pao! Wham! Eh.

Today’s frozen, mass-produced food morsel comes to us from the good people at Healthy Choice, Kung Pao chicken in a steamer tray. I think producers of mass-marketed frozen diet entrees really love Asian-inspired foods. And what’s not to love? Rice, veggies, white meat chicken and a bit of spicy sauce and WHAM! You have an [...]
When I’m bad, I’m to-the-walls bad

Yesterday was stressful. Hard day at work, husband out of town, dogs bouncing off the ceiling, cat being a dick. You know, the typical stuff. While I have been almost boastful of my resistance to eating my emotions lately, I folded like a seven-two-offsuit hand of Texas Hold ‘Em last night. I totally grabbed a [...]

Another work day where noon arrived and I hadn’t consumed a bite of food yet. Either I am a dumb ass or I’m over-worked. Smart money places a bet on both. In light of the fact that I neglected to bring the lunch I packed (dumb ass pulls ahead in the odds) and that today [...]

One small step

Another half pound of fat has vanished, brining my total to just over 21 pounds lost so far. A wee, tiny step in the right direction. Yeah, I am pretty happy about that. Considering I was on vacation last week and I’ve been bat-shit-crazy stressed this week, I think a modest loss rocks. Hard core. [...]
Desktop lunch review: In the raw

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 [...]
