Originally published on tumblr Today’s diet entree comes from the calorie-conscious kitchens of Weight Watchers Smart Ones and can pretty much be summed up in one word: Yellow. Until today, I didn’t think of yellow as a flavor. But now, I know what yellow tastes like. And it’s not great. This bag of frozen sustenance [...]

Originally published on tumblr Gotta admit, I was a little discouraged this week. Emotionally this week has been tough, and I have been all whiny and bitter about trying the weight loss thing again. I have dropped and added hundreds pounds for more than 30 years, so my failure rate at healthy weight maintenance is [...]

Originally published on tumblr I declare to the Internet that I am fighting a powerful internal demon: my insatiable and insane craving for chocolate. Totally cliche that the fat girl loves chocolate, but this fat girl does indeed love chocolate. Always have, always will. And my craving is so intense that I had to send [...]

Originally published on tumblr Nothing lost this week, but nothing gained. If this were my first time at the weight-loss rodeo, I might be discouraged. But it’s not so I am not.

Originally posted on tumblr Disclosure: I am not a corporation-hater. My husband works for a big corporation and so did I for many years.

Originally posted on tumblr In the spring of 2008, my husband and I joined Weight Watchers. And I absolutely hated it. But being accountable to the scale kept me going. We lost a lot of weight, though. A lot. Then we quit. Not intentionally. We just stopped. And we started eating the food we enjoyed: [...]

Originally posted on tumblr This morning was our first week weigh-in at Weight Watchers. These are the thoughts that actually ran through my head while getting ready to leave for our journey to the scale: Brush your teeth throughly because that plaque might add up to a couple of ounces Make sure every ounce of [...]
