When I first started my blog, I did such so that I would have some accountability to someone other than myself.  I thought that if I could admit my eating failures to someone else, it would be the first step on the road to recovery, so to speak.
Well, I’d like to be able to tell [...]

You know what “they” say about paths that are paved with best laid plans!  About two weeks ago I posted my plans for maintenance mode.  I’ve failed all of them.
I intended to up my calories by approximately 100 calories, to 1300, and try to stay in that range for three months (and also to try [...]

I have always loved pizza.  It’s not my favorite dish, but always tasty.  I don’t think I’ve ever had a pizza I did not like.  Of course, there are some better than others, but historically my conventional way of thinking was that “the bigger pizza the better” and by bigger, I mean the thickness of [...]

And, if you note that I am typing this at 3am, you would see that yesterday has rolled into today!  I have a vendor appearance tomorrow, selling sterling silver Chinese charms, scrapbook supplies and digital image collections for a Chinese New Year celebration.  As usual, I waited until the last minute to prepare.Â
I [...]

‘C’ is for cookie…
OMG!  Two whole platters of homemade cookies are gone.  They didn’t even make it to the official dessert time.  I went back WAY too many times.Â
I tried my best to log every disgusting (my behavior was disgusting, not the food) morsel I consumed, and I think I come in somewhere around 3,129 [...]

I was gone for a four-day weekend with the family, a getaway that featured not only eating out three meals a day but which also included trick-or-treating.
All that said, I’m satisfied with today’s weight on the scale.  It was 169, two pounds more than last week.  I’m not happy about the increase, but I’m chalking [...]

I have updated my Progress Photos page with another picture. Make sure you scroll to the bottom to see the latest picture, as I have them displayed in descending order.
It was kind of important to me to show my progress in the same clothes because I thought it would more accurately show an “apples [...]

I decided to try the McDonald’s bacon and cheese angus snack wrap tonight for dinner. Several months ago I had commented that with wanting to watch calories I could no longer afford to eat the 1/3 pound angus burgers — although I thought they were delicious!
As I drove by the McDonald’s on the way [...]

This morning the scale said 190, and that means another two pounds this week! Yay! There was actually one day in the middle of the week where I was teased with 189. That’s ok though… I will see it again soon. Then 188, which will mean 80 pounds lost. [...]

I forgot to mention, in the excitement over posting about my Mothers Day gift, that in this week’s weigh-in I was at 198. I had gotten as low as 197 this past week, but with eating out two meals on Mothers Day, I went over my calorie goal by 200 and even though I [...]
