Those of who are in the beginning, or new beginning, or crap-here-goes-again phase of getting healthy need to here from somebody who’s been there and mow their whole life isn’t about their pants size. Gaining weight back is something that is just part of reality, and so is figuring out what the hell to do about it. I’ve read your archive, all of it. Dies that make me a stalker? Thanks for laughs and inspiration.

I just bought your book yesterday and am almost finished. You are an inspiration, so don’t give up on weight loss. Watching carbs and keeping track of my weight before it goes up too much works for me. Everyone has to find what works for them, I guess. Just wanted to let you know that I love the book!!

My DH has a similar heart thing, also of no concern to anyone in the medical field, but darn scary to me. The heart is sort of important!

I love your writing and I admire you for doing what you love.

Congrats on the new book release. Good luck with your resolutions. I agree with you, keeping a food/excercise diary helps keep me on track.

Ha! My heart’s been doing that as long as I can remember. I actually cut down to 1-2 cups of coffee a day for that nonsense, and it STILL creeps in from time to time. I… genuinely hope it’s nothing, yeah.

Good for you for keeping a food diary! I force myself to do it and when I write down everything I ate that day, sometimes I cringe and sometimes I pat myself on the shoulder. But it really brought out a lot of things in my eating patterns, like damn, I never knew I ate so much bread!
One day at a time is how to do it. We’re all human and sometimes we stumble. it’s when we don’t get back up and keep trying, that we fail. Keep on keeping on!

I take time to visit your blog, not so much because you are a weight loss maven, but because you write very well and lead an interesting, full life. Here’s to better choices in 2011. Cheers!

Good Job!
That’s how I reached my goal weight,
and how I’ve maintained it for the past 5 years.
