A pick me up... - In honor of my soon-to-be six month milestone and in open defiance of my weight loss stall - I am posting my first ever pictures... a before and a not-quite-yet 6 month "after"....

Deep thoughts on stalls... - Why do we obsess over weight loss stalls? Why do we compulsively weigh?   My answer: FEAR I am a gifted liar.  I deceived myself for so many years by avoiding the scale,...

This week's my 600 lb life - Anybody else watching this?   Penny is so sweet... But is she in the right mind frame? Is her enabling husband going to help her, or hurt her by helping? 

How often do you weigh? - Just curious - how often do you weigh, and how far out are you from surgery? AND, have your weighing habits changed? I am trying to break out of the weigh every day cycle......

A stumble, but not a fall - Never believe your own publicist.  I have been getting so much positive attention lately in regards to my weight loss... it made me cocky, I think. What started out as "I'll...

My 600 lb life - I'm watching this show on TLC, I think it may be a rerun- but holy crap! Did that a-hole husband REALLY just stop by a fast food drive thru ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL?  O...

How will you celebrate? - I will be hitting 100 lbs lost soon (hopefully - this pesky weight loss stall may throw a wrench in) - I have decided to celebrate when it happens - I am going to go paint-b...

The war inside my head... - Obese me: I HAVEN'T LOST ANY WEIGHT IN TWO WEEKS! Rational me: You know this happens sometimes, it is only natural for your body to need time to adjust - and you yourself sa...

Does NOT QUITTING count as a NSV? - I have never ever ever stuck with any sort of exercise for more than a few months.  Even when I thought I was going pretty well, something would happen like a head cold or a bus...

Food intolerances - a forever problem? - OK, I have found a few things that my pouch really, really doesn't like - specifically rice and bread (only tried brown rice and WW bread, don't want the refined stuff).  Tried ...
