The only thing that combats my tendency to overeat is my tendency to be the most anxious person in the world.
My classes begin this week and I had my first one last night. I woke up two pounds lighter this morning than yesterday. Unfortunately my lack of appetite usually results in almost no water intake. […]

This week I’m craving:

oranges
green apples
black olives in my salad
salmon
sautéed bell peppers (all three colors)
alternative pita-sandwiches with grilled chicken, turkey bacon, tomato and lettuce (So far I have only made this sandwich in my head; let you know how it is.)
coffee, always lots of coffee
oatmeal (why? I think this is more about craving feel full and […]

I sometimes think I need something to be obsessed about.
I had a non-diet friendly lunch today, but while eating it, knowing I probably shouldn’t, or in the least not regularly, I decided that I’m never going to be able to be perfect with what I am eating. Ever.
And to me, accepting that I am not […]

I recently, finally, found Flat Out Bread at a Super Target in Moreno Valley, CA.
Flat Out Bread is apparently endorsed by Bob Greene, the Oprah diet guy, for his diet The Best Life since his logo is all over it. The site lists more high-end grocery retailers, which explains why I had to travel over […]

You are a magnet.
You disguise yourself
As a lifeline,
Yet I know you
To be my destruction.
I move toward you
Even as I strain
To avoid your field.
Struggling free,
I remain haunted
By your palate stroke;
And energy moves me
Toward you once more.
Then as tongue rejoices,
Head sighs
And wonders
If death has won
Another round.
-Micki Selzter

I didn’t have a good eating day today. But you know that? That’s okay.
If I strive for perfection I will always fail.
I have eating goals for every day, and I want to meet them tomorrow, but more importantly, tomorrow I will not weigh myself. At all.
Sometimes it’s harder to deal with being obsessed than it […]

Day 426 marks the return of my official weekly weigh in. Today’s weight was 223.8.
2.4 pounds from the -100 mark again.
Something totally reasonable and reachable.
FINALLY.
Two weeks ago I was 225 on the nose. I don’t know how I managed to lose over a pound in the last two weeks (I’m amazed I didn’t gain […]

Today is day 425 of the diet, but I feel the need to treat it like day one.
I am watching Bee Season off of my cable box in my bedroom, occupying my time (and my mind, and therefore my mouth) as to avoid sitting around, eating, moping, I don’t know…
I sometimes feel hopeless.
I jokingly complained […]

The best indication that I need to update and feel commited to my diet (and my website) again?
My referrals tell me I am a top listing in Google’s search for “I feel unmotivated and sad.”
Today I weigh less than I ever did in July, but have still not brought myself back to a 100lb total […]
