I want to show you my bum...
.... but it would violate all sorts of rules, so you'll have to use your imagination. I started taking photos before MFP with no intention of ever showing anyone, so I took a bare bum shot. Before: a gelatenous glob of goo, like someone took a ball of lightly kneeded bread dough, stuck it to my backside, and gravity…

Next stop... double digit weight loss!

It's unclear whether it's the dairy which is causing the issues, but it is known to induce mucus production which definitely doesn't help.

pot luck pity party
I got home from work today to a very sick dog and a huge stinky mess to clean up. Not only did he release his bowels on my floor, (luckily he knew enough to use the bathroom), but in a panic to try to get outside, he destroyed our blinds. After cleaning the mess, taking him for a walk, he just got worse and I ended up in…
