Eating Healthy
It began as a dark and stormy night (I’ve always wanted to write those words) when I decided to go the healthy route on my diet. I had about 300 calories left at the end of my day of eating very healthy. What I wanted was cinnamon toast with milk (which was 270 calories total); however I talked myself out of that option. I…

New Year's Resolution
Did you make that resolution again? You know the one that says you WILL lose weight and I mean it this time. I understand making the same New Year’s resolution of losing weight and then hanging my head in shame (AGAIN and AGAIN) when I didn’t even make until the 3rd of January before I fell off the wagon. And then at the…

Right now -- take a snapshot of your life
Six years ago today, I said “I do” to THE most wonderful man in the world. Rom and I flew to Hawaii for our honeymoon. I am not a tiny woman and the aisle in between the rows of seats is not very large. I bumped my way down the aisle in search of my seat. I could almost feel a sigh of relief as I passed each person already…

Email Alerts

Emotional Eating
I was at 298 pounds when I finally realize that my weight has nothing to do with the food I eat (what can I say, I am a slow learner). Instead, my weight had to deal with the emotions that were eating at me. I am a substance abuser. It’s strange, but I always thought I was so much above “those” kind of people. In fact, I…

My Food Diary
Isn’t it surprising just how much we didn’t know back when we thought we were so smart? :embarassed: I remember the first time I time I went to a Weight Watchers meeting – 38 years ago. I was 23 years old, had just had my first son and weighed in at a whopping 152 pounds! I could NOT believe how disgusted my first husband…

I'm kind of, sort of a newbie...
A long, long time ago...my story began “Congratulations, you have a beautiful baby girl. Oh my, and what a big girl she is. Wow, will you look at this -- nine pounds, one ounce – 17 ½ inches long.” While I admit I don’t actually remember getting on that scale for the very first time in my life, I can only imagine that even…
