Congratulations are in order.  Because I have accomplished the impossible.  I now weigh what I weighed when I returned home from the hospital after giving birth to twins ten years ago.

My Big Fat Summer

Posted in Beauty, Exercise, Uncategorized, Weight, tagged , on August 27, 2010 | 2 Comments »

The day before yesterday I left my parents’ country house and drove into the city where the first thing I did, as usual, was weigh myself.  Way to ruin my day. At least it’s blog fodder, I thought.  I can write about how everyone always talks about how easy it is to lose weight in [...]

Yes, it’s true – I’ve been gone a while. Why? Oh — I don’t know.  Maybe it’s the VIRULENT stomach flu coursing through my entire family. Even the dog threw up.  Seriously. First it was my son.  On vacation. In Florida.  Perfect weather.  Beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters.  We stayed inside for almost the entire [...]

Who's Afraid of the Water Park? Me, that's who.

Posted in Family, Humor, Neurosis, Parenting, Weight on July 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I have trekked through the rain forests of Costa Rica.  I have biked 18 miles up-hill to the top of  Mount Constitution in Washington State. I have traveled through Turkey – by myself – with blond hair.  But the ideaof going to Splish Splash Water Park terrifies me. It’s not the possibility of drowning *though [...]

Ageless Body? Yeah, right.

Long ago, I discovered the secret to buying (passably) flattering bathing suits: the worse you look the more you pay. (Hence, the Karla Coletto bazillion dollar(and worth every penny) bathing suit.)  I then learned the secret to feeling young and attractive: hang out with the septaugenarians.  I’ve bemoaned the new fahion-math: in Hollywood, size six [...]

Swimsuit season is upon us.  And with it the onslaught of diet ads on tv, magazines with pics of celebs caught having actual cellulite, and me, bemoaning my post-partum, post-forty, past passing for anything but middle-aged body. Though I am, if I am completely, intellectually honest, neither truly fat, or particularly unattractive, I have made [...]

Youngening: It's true! We're all getting younger!

Posted in 23andMe, Fashion, Humor, Rants, Shopping, Weight, tagged , , , , on June 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Forty is the new thirty.  Fifty is the new forty.  Twenty one is the new eighteen.  In fact, my hormones are skyrocketing to adolescent levels even as I type. It’s the new math.  And Lord knows, I’ve never been much good at math. Funny.  I’m not much good at getting younger as I age, either. [...]

Weight Watchers Weigh In Update #1

Posted in Beauty, Diet, Exercise, Fashion, Food, Laughs, Neurosis, Weight, tagged , , , , on February 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Weight Watchers. The two most terrifying words in the English language.  (Though I suppose that “Compassionate Conservative” and “Hairy Back” might be contenders.) And yet here I am, once again, doing the WW.  Counting the points, weighing the portions,trying to decide if a deck of cards (the proper size of a serving a meat) is [...]
