It's probably true, as both nutrition experts and fat positive activists have warned for decades, that there's no perfect diet, that most people who try to lose weight wind up regaining it all and then some, and that, frankly, most people (mostly women!) who think their bodies aren't "perfect," are really just great the way … Continue reading Is that gal EVER going to update her verkakte blog??

Heat waves and your diet/exercise plan
Well, howdy everyone, and yep, it's another super hot week out here in Southern California! So how does all this extreme weather affect our diet and/or exercise plans, if at all? Well, I don't know about you, but when it's so hot outside that I can feel the heat radiating inwards through the walls, I … Continue reading Heat waves and your diet/exercise plan
It’s so hot even this post is melting!
Well, hey, loyal readers! You may have noticed this post is a little late. That's because it's currently [checks pyrometer] 114 degrees Fahrenheit here in the beautiful San Fernando Valley! So I decided to do all my vigorous stuff (exercise, shopping, etc.) in the [relative] cool of the morning (I say "relative" because it was … Continue reading It’s so hot even this post is melting!
Back from vakay – and a Weight Watchers decision!
Hey everyone! Just got home from vakay - literally, less than an hour ago! I've already cleaned out my gorgeous rental car and moved all my crap back into my less-than-gorgeous-but-still-serviceable beater car. Tomorrow morning I'll return Gorgeous and start the process of returning to "normal," whatever that may be. And as part of that … Continue reading Back from vakay – and a Weight Watchers decision!
Let’s try this again, shall we?
Okay, so now that I'm COVID-free, I'm gonna try the Phoenix vacation again next week. Which means I won't be posting one of the wonderful blog posts you've all come to know and love! So this week, instead of talking about COVID and complaining about the patriarchy, how's about I talk about how I'm doing … Continue reading Let’s try this again, shall we?
Yep, time once again for another VAKAY!
Well, a big hello to all my friends out in Blog Reading Land! Let's see, I spy with my little eye: Stevie, Laura, Garold, Penny, Rachel, Irene, Bill, Becky, Bernie -- and of course, MARGARET, my #1 fan (on Facebook anyway!). Great to have you all here, and I'm sure you'll be just devastated to … Continue reading Yep, time once again for another VAKAY!
Weight Watchers, sugar snap peas, and a banana bonanza!
Hey, everyone! Well, it's one week since I started test-driving the new Weight Watchers "Personal Points" thingamabob. And I have to say, so far so good! I'm diligently tracking 99.9% of my foods, as instructed, in their friendly little app, which hasn't crashed my phone (yet), so I'm good. Of course, some mega-dieters will be … Continue reading Weight Watchers, sugar snap peas, and a banana bonanza!
The definition of insanity: rejoining Weight Watchers??
Well, good morning, everyone! Let's just hop right to it, shall we? Yes, you read that post title right -- I have rejoined Weight Watchers for what I think is the third time in my life! And yes, I do know the definition of insanity (which my poor, caffeine-deprived fingers keep wanting to type as … Continue reading The definition of insanity: rejoining Weight Watchers??
“Fatphobia” can literally kill!
Good morning, everyone! Hey, remember last week, when I told you I was getting ready for my tele-visit with the colonoscopy doc? Well, I had it. And I really, really wish I wasn't so technologically challenged, because if I'd livestreamed it, or at least recorded it somehow other than in my admittedly imperfect memory, you'd … Continue reading “Fatphobia” can literally kill!
Balancing “Body Positivity” with “Ouch, my bones!”
Well, howdy, friends, relatives, and well-wishers! As promised last week, I've got some thoughts on what to do now that my breast cancer seems to be cured. To whit, my weight! Long-time readers may recall that last November, when I transitioned the blog from "weight loss" to "all cancer, all the time" like Debbie Downer … Continue reading Balancing “Body Positivity” with “Ouch, my bones!”
