My Weight Loss Goal is a Lie

Well, it’s not a big lie.  It’s what I think I can do in 2 weeks.  Four pounds in 2 weeks, which would drop me from 119.8 to 115.8, which is my perfect mid-point.
It’s not my real goal though.  My real goal: 113.
There, I said it.  I don’t know that it’s reasonable, since I am [...]

The Weight Thing 2

Five days ago, I was concerned because my weight had crept up 5 pounds over my freakout limit of 118.  (My weight had been over 118 for 14 days total while I experimented with a slightly larger body.)
The next day, it was up 4 pounds more (sushi rolls, barbecued spare ribs).  Sadly for me, that [...]

The Weight Thing

I have put on 5 pounds over my OMG upper limit of 118.
It’s not noticeable to most people — I look a little younger, a little more womanly, my ass is more impressive.  Everyone thinks I look better.  Seriously.  The jump from 113 to 118 to 123 has left people thinking, wow, you look good.  [...]

Weighty Issues 6 — Back on the Plan

In January, I freaked out a little bit when my weight dropped to 115. Starting when I broke through 118, I wrote a series of posts about my “Weighty Issues,” obsessing with my body image problems and trying to convince myself to stop losing. I didn’t. Thanks to illness and stress, within [...]

Quick Answers to Quick Questions (and Quick Updates)

Lola, you’re right, I have not been updating regularly while I had network problems the last few days.
