“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” ~ Confucius 177.8 lbs So you want to lose weight, and you’re smart enough to not starve yourself as I did. Like many things in life it comes down to three little words: in this case, “diet and exercise”. Creams and pills that promise to do the job for you are just sucker bait looking to rob you of your money. Fad diets are fads [...]
“If I had milk in the fridge, it would probably have more colour than I’ve got” ~me 189.7 lbs. I’ve been hearing that I’m pale more and more lately. I’m not sure if it’s due to the starvation or that I spend less time outside than most of my friends in the summer sun. There are a few reasons I stay in during the day.

Today I ventured forth to Sobey’s again (for those of you just tuning in, it’s a grocery store). This proved to [...]
As usual, Lean Cuisine publishes the Weight Watcher’s points value on the package. The chicken & vegetables with spaghettini in an herb sauce, at 270 Calories (just a little under a Calorie per gram) apparently clocks in at 5 points. I haven’t been through the Weight Watcher’s program, so the points are a mystery to me.

“When I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can’t help but cry. I mean, I’d love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff“ ~ Quote attributed to Mariah Carey in a 1996 interview (that never happened) 220 lbs.
