I’ve topped, whooooa, 102 recently, but this morning back down to 99.9. Good god. Maybe it would help if I ate meals before dinner? Let’s get serious. Eat breakfast every day. Off to an easy enough start today, taking my Dad out to Bob Evans. I’ll force myself to do this every day for a month before marking it complete, even if it’s just a piece of toast or yogurt and running to work banana in hand.

How I did it: This isn't the greatest job in the world. It's not what I got either degree to do. But you know what... I love my job. Love the people I work with and for, love what I do, love that I'm taken seriously and given a real chance to contribute... No it's not the greatest job, not the greatest pay, not something I see myself doing for long and not an industry I see myself advancing in, but right now I couldn't be happier with it. I put this go… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm pretty well pared down to the minimum now. I only have clothes I will actually wear -- books I may one day want to read -- most of the things I don't need on a regular basis are safely stored in under-the-bed boxes. I travel light now; I have only the things that belong in my life. Read how I did it…
The truth is I don’t really care to do this. I just need to be more active. The “French Women Don’t Get Fat” philosophy makes sense to me, and suits me better. I’d rather just walk a lot more. Might do a little weight training now and then. I enjoy walking and weights. That’s plenty. Need to be in a city where there are places to walk to. Need to weigh more so a little tone will be becoming. I think that’s all I really care to do—but need to do it.
99lbs a couple weeks ago, worst ever. Been enjoying my job too much. Too tickled by skipping breakfast and working through lunch. Pure silliness. Must eat normally all through the day… it’s really quite simple. I don’t ever care to be attached to a scale but that was horrifying to see & I’m going to be checking frequently till I get up above 110 again. 103.8 at last check. Still aiming for 120. Eat like a person smackoff.
