Why The Weight?: Back and better.
http://whytheweight.blogspot.com/2006/06/back-and-better.html
Wednesday, June 07, 2006. And, speaking of resting all night, my insomnia does seem to have largely passed. I am not sleeping the whole night through, yet, but still, I am sleeping most of the night which is a huge improvement. Maulleigh. It is nice not to be totally incapacitated by lack of sleep. but I still want my sleep! Posted by Wendy @ 12:07 PM. So then.you are ready to try out for The Amazing Race next, riiiight? Glad you are back - you were missed! 3:45 PM, June 08, 2006. Hey, you - welcome back!

Why The Weight?: Uncle.
http://whytheweight.blogspot.com/2006/10/uncle.html
Monday, October 02, 2006. I have said uncle. I've given up on hiding from it, denying it, assuring myself that if I'd just do a little more X and a little less Y, it will go away. It's been hounding me consistently since I was 26. And foolishly, for 10 years, I have had my head in the sand about it. I am now medicated for high blood pressure. After a week on the medication, my blood pressure was almost normal, at 130/80. And furthermore, hello! Posted by Wendy @ 2:39 PM. I have a very good friend who is ...

Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Avoiding weight loss efforts = avoiding weight loss blog. I've lost my diet mojo. So I've been kind of avoiding this space. Had a conversation with a co-worker this week, one of those where you complain about all the food involved in the holidays, and all the food at your house, and how you haven't exercised, and how I need to join a gym but she just cancelled her gym and wasn't going, how something's gotta give, how eating hardly. Which is all to say I had a somewhat decadent...

Monday, January 17, 2005. Achievability, and sticking with it. When I first started My Great Big Obnoxious Weight Watcher Program, the leader took all of us who were newly joined to give us a thumbail overview of the program. On the subject of exercise, she told us, add 10 minutes of exercise to your day, every day (maybe it was 5 days a week). 10 minutes? Imminently do-able. It was the achievability of this goal that made it irresistible. Posted by Wendy @ 6:03 PM. Resuming, with a twist. This time, I'm...

http://whytheweight.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 27, 2005. I found the comments people made to my last post very interesting. Here was my frame of reference: some shame at not being able to commit to the 1700 (actually, net 1450) calories per day recommended by Calor1e K1ng. I was actually a little embarassed to put that out there, and I think you can see my defensiveness when reading my description of that number. Why not go full on? But even though I haven't done all that well? I am getting so excited about my trip! This is probably...

http://whytheweight.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 05, 2005. OK, I haven't been doing too well, thus far. Did my usual: all into it for a few days, then have a day where I'm too busy or too hungry or just not too into it, and then just abandon things, right then and there. hello, Wendy, ever hear of just taking a day off - ONE day off - then getting back into the swing of things? This is, of course, my biggest problem. with weight loss, anyway (or maintenance, for that matter). So maybe 10 pound goals. OH, and the other thing is that n...

Why The Weight?: Foodie no more.
http://whytheweight.blogspot.com/2006/08/foodie-no-more.html
Tuesday, August 15, 2006. Thought I'd pass along some examples of what my food life looks like now that I am not a foodie. Every day I eat fruit. I am not so crazy in love with how delicious fruit is lately, as I have been at other (foodie) times, but I find the GI really does need it, so I have about 2 servings a day - sometimes 3, sometimes 1, but probably generally around 2. A co-worker came back to work last week after a maternity leave and gasped, looking at me, "Have you lost weight? I haven't, and...

Why The Weight?: While the days get shorter.
http://whytheweight.blogspot.com/2006/10/while-days-get-shorter.html
Thursday, October 26, 2006. While the days get shorter. I was doing Better for a while, after starting the BP meds. I was walking most days, sometimes only 15 minutes, but sometimes 45 minutes to an hour, even more. It was averaging out to 30 minutes a day, most days, which is what's recommended. I was making generally good eating choices, avoiding junk more. I was moving in the right direction. I just can't take the battle against the food urge along with all the other mental battles I'm doing right now.

Why The Weight?: Eating smaller.
http://whytheweight.blogspot.com/2006/10/eating-smaller_12.html
Thursday, October 12, 2006. I may have to get the book described here. I see people in the weight-loss world try to get all valiant and noble about hunger, and try to talk themselves and others out of the natural urge that suggests hunger is bad, hunger must be satisfied. They say things like, "Oh, there's lots worse than hunger! Who can't deal with a little hunger? I'm stronger than that! Check out the article. Posted by Wendy @ 10:56 AM. I read this article the other day and think I might get the book.

Friday, April 29, 2005. It's mild, but I've got it nonetheless. Housecleaning this morning. and sweating, so it must be good exercise. Posted by Wendy @ 11:21 AM. Wednesday, April 27, 2005. The scale gently fell a little, teeny-tiny half-pound today, to 235.0. Not as much as I'd like to see, but I'll take it! Based on my 'net sleuthing, I tag it at 250 cals/slice, for 750 cals for the half-pizza. some of you may scoff - but this is not low - you should see the pizza. it's THIN. and delicious! Must be the...
