A screenshot from the iPhone app ‘Lose It’
I started what I’m calling the Food Monotony Project on Tuesday, Jan 19, and since that day I’ve eaten mostly to plan. The thinking behind this goes back to a blog post I wrote in July of 2008. I forget a lot of my posts, but the points [...]

Earlier in the year, I bemoaned my lack of weight loss and set a goal for the year of losing 40 lbs. – then did nothing to try to reach that goal. There’s been a number of life changes at work and at home that have put the pressure on and lately, I’ve felt that [...]

My Perception of Your Standard Low-Calorie Diet
I’ve been lax in journaling – I promised I would do so some time back.
Apparently I lied.
Anywho, I have been quite adherent to an Atkins induction-style diet, and have been in ketosis for about 8 days straight. When I started this, about 10 days ago, I had puffed up [...]

On April 13th of this year I started experimenting with nicotine, in the form of Commit lozenges, as a means to help stave off food cravings. As of today, 6 months later, I would say this:
The 4mg lozenges, taken on average 4 times per day, do reduce food cravings
I have lost no weight since [...]

I enjoy reading everyone’s comments – even the ones that rip me a new one. I like those especially because they are a reality-check: you need to give opposing ideas a real solid testing, and not dismiss them outright.
There might be something to learn there.

I thought that journaling this particular attempt at low carb weight loss might help the process.
Heck, it didn’t work the last time – so it makes sense to try it again, doesn’t it?

I’ve been way busy – not a bad thing in this economy, but the sheer amount of work and pressure has not helped my waistline, as I am an emotional eater.
So I put on the weight I lost earlier. This entire year has been spent between about 223 and 201 lbs.
This morning’s weight – as [...]

This is merely to prove I am not dead. I’ve been busy, OK?
Someone wrote me asking about the carbs in commit lozenges – here’s what I wote back:
First, if you are taking these lozenges because of my posts, you deserve a scolding. I repeatedly said ‘don’t try this at home’. My doctor was none too [...]

Please forgive a post perhaps more rambling than most – I just noticed I haven’t written in a while and thought it unseemly to make the site appear abandoned.
You might think that I was abducted – or gave up on low carb and went on Jenny Craig.
Or said ‘to hell with this’, bought the Ho-Hos, [...]

I seem to be in a groove right now. This past week, I’ve bounced around a bit, but I’ve also lost the 2 lbs. that doctors think is the maximum rate you can lose without hurting yourself. As I’ve been able to do this without much hardship – there’s no feeling of deprivation, no great [...]
