The Mandarin Buffet Me against piles and piles of processed, fried yummy-ness. I did great. 1 plate of anything I wanted, as long as nothing was touching. 1 plate of lettuce, veggies and raspberry dressing. 1 bowl of fruit. 3 cheers for me!

Has anyone seen my waist?
Posted in depression, eating, weight loss on August 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I seem to have misplaced it on vacation. Seriously, at my never-ever weight, I have my waist back. Not svelt or anything a gossip magazine would want published, but it is there. I like it when my partner touches me there, I’m even up for sex. If you have a waist, you see, you can’t [...]
So what’s this gonna cost? (part 2)

Freedom to eat and drink anything at all that you want. That is a big one for me. Overweight people can eat whatever they want. And they will still be overweight. Not really ideal, but it works. Yes to the cake, yes to the take out, yes to the 4th glass of wine, yes to [...]

A theory : “maybe you keep regaining the weight because you are afraid of being thin”. I have read of women who don’t like being sexualized, so the extra pounds protect them from that. I have read of women who don’t like sex, so the extra pounds protect them from that. I have read of [...]
Natural Consequences
Posted in children, eating, exercise, parenting, weight loss on July 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I LOVE natural consequences. They work in so many wonderful ways while raising kids. Sometimes they are obvious. Walk through puddle, get wet feet. Refuse to wear mittens, get cold hands. Eat way too much butter straight from the fridge, get the runs. Run out on the street, get hit by car (KIDDING). Sometimes, the [...]
A little bit of candy…
Posted in eating, peanut butter, weight loss on June 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
okay – I crumbled today, and ate a bit of junk. Halloween Candy (yep – we still had some) and a couple of timbits. All in very quick succession. I also didn’t have my usual sprouts-and-carrots-in-a-pita-with-hummus-or-dressing lunch. I’m a bit bored of it, and the kids were having peanut butter. Oh my. I LOVE peanut [...]
Freakin’ Lapses…

I have had a brutal week or two. I can’t seem to get my head out of my butt. I have been eating everything that isn’t tied down. I have even planned and had some binges. I battled the urge to purge for an hour on Friday, finally it passed when my partner came home [...]
HALT!

So the theory goes that we eat when we are: Hungry Angry Lonely Tired I’m regularly all 4. I continue to struggle with my eating. Stress levels are higher than I’d like, but I’m trying. I’m hoping that this is PMS, and that I’ll feel better soon. But I’m finding the wait hard. My grandmother [...]
Shit

Shit, poo, poop, excrement, waste…whatever you call it. I spend a LARGE part of my life dealing with it. Litter box, backyard, the accident the cat had in the basement. Wiping bums, dunking diapers, washing diapers. Poop poop everywhere. We even get to talk about it. “Why does the dog poop” “Because if you eat, [...]
Mystery solved
Posted in eating, emotional eating, family, food, relationships on March 7, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The “why things crashed and burned miserably this week” mystery has been solved. Thankfully, it didn’t take too much digging. Just a few days of food battles. On the weekend, my partner (my wonderful, kind, loving, caring partner) let me know that eating BBQ each Sunday night was getting boring. I love BBQ every Sunday [...]
