About 40% of folks who make New Year’s Resolutions abandon all hope before the end of February.  Those that make it beyond that are generally only still working on their primary Resolution which is probably something along the lines of losing weight, exercising more, drinking less, quiting smoking, make new friends, or cut out caffeine.  [...]

My life definitely seems to be in flux this year.  Lots of big changes.
Everyone in my house is on a diet.  Well, o.k. the cats are on weight loss maintenance since they achieved their weight loss goals last year.  However, Pugly was told by the vet that he has to lose 4 lbs — 1/6th [...]

And No One Died

by J. Lynne on September 22, 2007

in Life, Losin' It

It never feels like the right time to start a diet. There’s always something going on that it seems wiser to wait until after before getting started on the obsessive deprivation — I mean, healthy portion control. Sometimes, there’s just so much going on that you just have to dive in and hope [...]

Feeling Frumpily Grumpy

by J. Lynne on September 17, 2007

in Health, Life, Losin' It

I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday afternoon when my mother phoned. She practically started the conversation with “You know what you should do; you should take some classes at night at the local university.” Well, I’d pretty much had it with everyone in my life telling me what I should be [...]

I guess you could tell I’ve been a little out of sorts for the last week. I’ve actually been mulling over some grumpiness since my last therapy visit on the 4th. I went to my session feeling kind of proud of myself for everything I’d accomplished since the last session about a month [...]

by J. Lynne on August 27, 2007

in Book Talk, Health, Losin' It

Friday night I finished reading The Inflammation-Free Diet Plan by Monica Reinagel and I figured what better place to share my opinion of the book than right here?

by J. Lynne on August 17, 2007

in Health, Life, Losin' It

Back in 1998*, before all of the bad stuff started coming out about Metabolife, back when all of the DJs on the radio were singing its miracle weight loss praises and I was pretty desperate, I tried it for a few months. You know, in those days, they were basically saying that you could [...]
