The double-mindedness of weight loss is one of the hardest things for me to conquer – besides overeating and under-exercising…….. I’m talking about those times when you are really and truly trying to follow a plan but your mind keeps slipping ahead to some food and drink oriented event in the future. And the result [...]

I Lied
Actually – I think I just failed but I’m not keen on failure. The feasting stopped but something more insidious took its place: gluttony, greed, simply stuffing in food for no very good reason. In fact…confession approaching…..I ate the Christmas cake that I’d packed up for my mom. Where’s the blushing smilie when you need [...]

After the Feasting
Every year I think I’m going to savour the moments but every year Christmas goes by in such a blur that I can barely remember it. And every year, after two days of feasting I give the “That’s it! NO more food!” speech to myself then reach for the nearest baked goods. So is this [...]

Christmas Eve Blessings
Wishing everyone a Christmas full of blessings – love, laughter, feasting and gratitude.
Isn’t it? I can be a Scrooge and a Grinch all the way up until about now and then it seems to kick in. The tree smells lovely. The gingerbread house adds to the festive nose-feast. The only thing playing on i-tunes is my Christmas music. OK – I’ve got the Spirit. So how’s the [...]

Checking In
It’s not as though I haven’t been thinking tons about what I’m doing and not doing – but the actual act of writing it all down has got lost in the tinsel, gingerbread and shopping lists. I’ve put on two pounds which may or may not be “real”. I need vegetables but can’t find them [...]

I wish I could go back. I miss it. I miss the excitement. I miss learning about what’s new. I miss the awesome feeling of starting out fresh and full of motivation. I miss the opportunity to find a new gadget or two just for kicks. I miss that first week of being on WW–the [...]

Those Miracle Weight Loss Ads
I caught the tail end of some news magazine tv show a week or so ago. You know the kind, something like 20/20 or Dateline. It was talking about the magazine and internet ads for weight loss. You know the ones I mean, it shows a before and after picture and the ad says something [...]
