Weight a Minute! – I’m a Pickle

I’m sure you noticed I haven’t posted anything to this blog for a little while. I haven’t been sick or on vacation – I’ve been fat, and I’ve been too ashamed to blog about it. You see, when writing about weight issues on such a public forum, you’re really opening yourself up to criticism. It doesn’t come – you are all too nice to do that – but the fear of it is still there. What if I blog and tell everyone about the five pounds I lost and put back on? Will they think I’m a failure? It’s hard, … Continue reading

Weight a Minute! Circles, Triangles, and Puzzle Pieces

Current Weight: 260.2 That’s not the worst of weights, and it’s not the best of weights. You’ll recall my gleeful ramblings about protein when last we met – well, I made a tactical error and ran out before pay day.

My lack of confidence was compounded by the fact that since I injured my foot, exercise had become a thing of the past for me. I solved the exercise problem by heading to our local gym, where my husband gets a discounted … Continue reading

Weight a Minute! – Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places

I’m afraid to say that things are still on hold for me, weight loss-wise. My foot is still pretty injured, and while I can walk (sort of) exercise is out of the question right now. I’ve learned that I don’t lose weight if I don’t exercise, so while I’m trying to eat decently, the weight is still just sitting there. Right now I’m fluctuating up and down in the 262 range, from 262.2 up to 262.8. This is giving me a lot of time to think, however, about the reasons why I overeat. About why I don’t exercise. About why … Continue reading
