So how is it going for you? Did you try a week of weighing and measuring? How was it? Was it easy? Hard? Scary?  And here is my big question: When you weighed and measured, was it enough? Did you feel satisfied? Do you need a change? I have been faced with changes that need […]

One of the things that happens when we weigh and measure our food is that we and other people have strong feelings about it. People ask questions, comment, object, are embarrassed to watch, and generally do not understand what and why we are doing this.  So, this week I want to give you some suggestions […]

Last week we talked about the recovery bugaboo – weighing and measuring. Lots of us resist because it is irritating, or embarrassing, or takes too much time, or most importantly – makes us fear deprivation and hunger.  That comes from your old diets.

I think this makes fourteen surgeries for me; can you count up the secretaries?  In our last snowfall I slipped on some mud in the driveway and tore the meniscus in my right knee; so that had to be […]

Have you ever thought about how intimate your contact with food is? It’s more intimate than hugs or lovemaking or even having a baby. The baby is inside the mom, but separated from her in its own little compartment. Food, on the other hand BECOMES a part of the body – your eyes, nose, liver […]

When I first started to blog, I really wasn’t sure I could produce a blog every week, but I scheduled it and I tried. It worked. Until New Year’s Eve. I had been reading this novel. Then someone on TV when the ball dropped said something. And I knew I had to change the blog. […]

As you read this, it should be December 25, 2018. For those of you who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a blessed and joy-filled holiday. For those of you who don’t, I wish you a peaceful day of love and joy. This season of the year has always been hard for me; the extra planning […]
