NSV: My brain is changing
I decided to take a quick 20 minute spin on the elliptical today and as I was stretching before I got on, something weird happened. I ran my hand along the back of my leg from my ankle to my butt and rather than thinking about how I feel a layer of fat there that I wish would just disappear overnight, I thought about how…

NSV: I was finally forced to buy new pants.
I've been on this journey since January and have lost just a little over 37 pounds so far. I'm not where I could have been had I stuck with it the entire time, but I'm a hell of alot better than where I started! The problem is- I'm cheap.

I'm eating better than he is and working out at the gym! He's been eating too few calories and worse stuff with those…

This time's for real (I hope!)
So I've got the same old story- been heavy all of my life and sick of it. I've always wanted to be smaller but never been able to get the job done. I'm a horrible emotional eater and even worse when I'm bored. School and work make quick, fattening food so much more convenient than anything most of the time- and lets be…
