I lost 2 lbs. Finders, keepers.

I’m a little woozy this morning from hunger, even after my granola bar and banana. BUT, I’ve lost 2 pounds. Which, if you do the math, is 1/2 pound per day. If I reach around to the area just below my butt, I can actually grab a little bit of fabric on my pants that […]

Eating My Words.

Today is the day I start to eat my words. Trust. I’d have eaten them already if I thought they’d be satisfying. My blood sugar has stabilized a bit as I’ve gotten used to eating smaller portions and out of the bug-zapping brain fog, some things have started to occur to me. 1. The Carb […]

Motherhood + Diet = Hard

Being a mother is hard. Being a mother on a diet is almost impossible. And — here’s the really frightening part — I’ve only been on The Carb Lovers Diet for 2 hours. I’m scared. And hungry.

Life Would Be Perfect If Only I Were Skinny

Tomorrow is the day that my lifelong-skinny husband begins his first diet. It’s also the day that I begin my 1,372nd diet. Or something like that. Funny thing about girls and guys, isn’t it? Dieting came into my life via my mother, who was once on a diet where all she ate was grapefruit. I […]

I'm baaaaack!

Have an Eggcellent Easter!
