A heavy subject that’s not about my weight

July 19, 2011

I haven’t written about Autumn in a long time, but tonight at bedtime she started asking questions about death and I sort of felt the need to bring a little bit of my girl back here to share with you. She wanted to know who would bring flowers to our graves if all three of [...]

Bless me, father, for I have binged

July 2, 2011

Last night I was starving. Not really starving, mind you, but ravenous.  A chew-the-upholstery-off-the-furniture crazy kind of hungry. I got home and could not wait for dinner to be ready. I opened up the pantry doors and ate a Weight Watchers Lemon Mousse Pie 2-point bar. Then I had another. Then I got into the [...]

Hanging on

June 20, 2011

I can’t seem to get past that 100 lb milestone. I get to 100, then I gain a little back. Then I lose a little to get back to 100 only to gain a little back again. It’s my own fault and I’m not really complaining. Just laying it all out there because, for better [...]

I scream, you scream

June 4, 2011

Yesterday I had an interview for a promotion at work. I wasn’t at all nervous until about two hours before I was to sit down with the interviewers, all of whom I knew and work with every day. I haven’t interviewed for a job in four years and my nerves were so bad at one [...]

Sweet kryptonite

May 26, 2011

Earlier this week I bought three large (4.25 oz) bars of Hershey Special Dark. They were on sale at Walgreens. Translation: I’m an idiot. I brought them into the office and stuffed them in a desk drawer after eating one of the fifteen segments of one bar. I calculated the points value of one segment [...]

Opening the floodgates

May 23, 2011

I try not to miss my Weight Watcher meetings. Granted, there are times when I’m in a pissy mood and walk out of the center as soon as I step off the scale because the scale did not show me what I expected it to show me. Of course it also happens the other way [...]

Treasure hunt

May 1, 2011

Today I went to JC Penney looking for this: I’ve been looking for something to hold my necklaces and earrings since I foolishly passed on buying the very elegant iron jewelry tree I spotted at Costco over the holidays. I actually bought what I thought I needed at Walmart yesterday on clearance for $10. It’s [...]

Cliffhanger

April 27, 2011

NEWS FLASH: I did not finish the work on the new blog.  I didn’t even come close. I have, however, been assembling enough fodder for my West Michigan Bloggers presentation in June. I’m going to be talking about rebranding/moving your blog. So far I am well versed in what not to do. Like don’t let [...]

Green goddess

April 26, 2011

This dress is making me wish I was a size 14 already. If I was a size 14 already, this dress would make me wish I had the $425 to buy it. Damn you, Kate Spade. Share and Enjoy:

More than an ounce, less than a ton

April 18, 2011

I had a  very good weigh-in on Saturday and finally reached that 100-lb milestone. Woo hoo! I can’t say if the good loss was due to eating fewer activity points. I didn’t completely abstain, which I guess isn’t abstinence at all. If one is practicing abstinence, one is not doing the thing from which they [...]
