Is it worth it? All these sacrifices, giving up on foods we like, forcing ourselves to exercise, and everything else–is it really worth it?
I had to answer to such a question a few weeks ago. In a nutshell, my answer was: yes, it IS worth it.
Granted, it’s not easy every day, and there are moments [...]

You may not have noticed it, because the whole thing, in the end, probably lasted no more than two hours grand, but this blog almost self-destructed through an excess of self-confidence.
Thus, here’s a word of wisdom to all WordPress users: when you perform an upgrade (namely, going from some-really-old-version to the 2.3.2 that I [...]

My mother being also overweight and wanting to ‘do like I did and lose some of this weight’, we regularly chat about it, share tips and magazine articles, etc. One thing that I have noticed, though, is that she also very regularly mentions that both of us are the same (i.e. we gain on weight [...]

Originally, I took a day off to attend a series of speeches about Elizabethan theatre, but things turned out differently than I thought, and I found myself unexpectedly home for the afternoon without anything planned. Since “nothing to do” tends to mean “whee, let’s eat something!” in my case, I decided to keep myself busy [...]

Recently, a thread with this title appeared on the 3FC boards, and the answers posted in it were quite interesting and enlightening.
How did we get so fat? How did I? Honestly, I don’t know. I wasn’t a pudgy child when I was very young, but I started getting a little belly and gradually putting on [...]

It’s that time of the year. Or is it of the next year? Tonight, or tomorrow, people will take new resolutions, as every year. And as every year, you can bet that 95% of them will have given up by the end of January, or perhaps February at the most.
Resolutions can be a good thing, [...]

Yikes, you could say. No updates on a weight-loss blog usually doesn’t bode well, right?
Okay, so for the latest news of the front on my personal battlefield…
I’m slowly getting the bingeing part in check. It’s not perfect yet, and I must admit that so far, I’ve been gaining and losing the same old 5 pounds [...]

Weeeell, I’ve slacked off on updating again. Sort of. I suppose one post a week isn’t that bad in itself, it could be once a month, but still, this is annoying. So here’s my little weekly blurb, if only because focusing for some time on this blog does help me keeping things in check.
I must [...]

I was thinking the other day about mini-goals and how it’s nice to have something short and sweet to aim for, something more attainable than a complete weight loss all at once. According to the goal I decided on, I still have about 4-5 kgs to lose (that would be the dreadful ‘last ten pounds’), [...]

One day at a time: this is how I’m doing it right now. There’s no other choice. I cannot take much more, nor worry about everything food- and weight loss-related for the week, or the month, or more.
And to be honest, this is sort of mind-relieving, in a way.
I’m supposed to do that for the [...]
