I used to find something about her eyes somewhat sexy, but now that she's gained so much weight that her eyes are practically swollen shut, she's not such a doll. Am I alone in this line of thinking? Her former eyes anyone?

I lost 60 pounds a couple a years ago. Low carb diet. My goal was ZERO carbs. That wasn't going to happen, but I figured that I could only eat bacon, salad, and fried pork skins for short period of time before going nuts, and I wanted to "get while the getting was good". Amazingly, I've managed to keep it off without even worrying about it.

Well, you are pretty funny, too. Great blog. Good luck. I keep my weight down by exercising and one simple rule: don't eat if you're not hungry and stop when you're full. You'll be in my prayers.

I don't have Showtime so do let us know what happens.

I'm not really responding to anything but I wanted to make a statement. I get sick of some fat people saying they are proud of their bodies. If you are proud of being fat then you have problems. Why do some people try to glorify the flaws that have resulted from their actions?

Where's the logic in pretending you are proud of yourself? No ones really proud that they are fat they just say it to make themselves feel better, even though it makes them look like idiots in my opinion.

But alas, after a few years, back surgery, and a new boyfriend (who claims he loves "all" of me) I gained it all back. I consider him responsible for 99 percent of my weight gain,

Sorry, but I couldn't read past this.

"Although for a large woman, this may be an ideal way to clean the bathroom floor, in one giant sweep"

lol!

It took me three hours today just to clean out my medicine cabinet and the one shelf in the linen closet with "stuff". Maybe I should try her method, although I'm not fat, and with my bad knees I don't think it would work.

Cut the carbs, go to Splenda and dump the sugar, five or six SMALL meals per day......HIGH protein.

Start with cardio........work your way up, then include strength training.

I made the mistake of stepping on some scales three years ago January....right after the holidays.........and decided I was a pig.

I've been lifting weights five days a week ever since.

Oh.........by the way............damned fine (and damned funny) piece of writing. You have a gift.

[HairOfTheDog]

I admire your ability to write about this... how fat we are is the thing about ourselves we can least hide, yet feel the most embarrassment about when we go to talk about it.

I for one will not watch the show. I think it looks really depressing.

But then I found SHREK to be incredibly depressing when I saw the 'ugly' version of the herione and she had my figure ;~D
