“I’m learnin’ one thing good,” said Ma Joad. “Learnin’ it all a time, ever’ day.” Well, I learned something too: that Pizza Hut is not my friend. And it has nothing to do with calories.
After three days of taking the written part of my national competitive exams, I went out with friends yesterday evening. Well, [...]

Or so I think, of course, because I know plenty of people who would disagree with me.
This all stems from my general feeling of being fed-up with people’s commentaries about my meals. Especially at work, where we all eat together and everybody gets to analyze what the neighbour is eating, probably because our lunch room [...]

Last week, as a belated Christmas gift from several family members, I got a deep freezer. It was something I had wanted for a long time, but wasn’t able to afford; besides, having lived for part of these past two years in a very cramped student room, I just didn’t know where I’d put a [...]

I know I’ve already mentioned it a few times on this blog: I’m quite sensitive to cold and to changes of temperature. Losing weight has not contributed to improving that in the slightest. On the contrary: I’m of those people who are still at ease with long sleeves and a cardigan in a room heated [...]

I recently stumbled upon a new blog to read, and as usual, I decided to browse through the archives a little. One of the older posts got me to think about having different food patterns–some people would probably call them “weird”, but I prefer to say “different”.
Until a couple of years ago, I was convinced [...]

I’m quite a proponent of weight-lifting, and not the kind of sissy stuff where you take a 2-lbs dumbbell, do 20 reps, and call that “lifting”. I guess I’d rather fit in with the men, grunting and breaking a serious sweat because I want to develop some muscle.
Well, I told myself recently that maybe it [...]

Contrary to what the title could lead you to think, this is not a rant, but a simple reminder, for me and perhaps for others who’d be interested, of how overeating causes nothing but complete misery, come to think of it. Unless I’m just the only one with a body reacting violently to and [...]

A little tidbit that occurred to me a couple of days ago: snacking.
Snacking is a two-sided sword. If I was a Vorlon, I’d go so far as to say that it’s actually a three-sided sword: my side, their side, and the truth of the matter. A lot of weight loss related websites will tell you [...]

I was mulling over some thoughts, and reminding the book by Gina Kolata I had read a few months ago, among other things. And I came to wonder, are we overweight (or former overweight) people condemn to some kind of ‘constant hunger’ that will plague us until the end of our lives–unless we give in [...]

Two weeks without an update. Yikes. Once again, I haven’t given up or whatever, but I must admit that keeping focused on blogging very regularly is hard when I need to organize my work and school life around a tight schedule. Securing more “must do” time, even for something light and fun like a blog, [...]
