Edited 2 March 2007:
I bought the black pinstripe suit last night. I went back to the store, tried everything back on, and said to myself, “Oh what were you thinking? It was always the black pinstripe suit.” So, now I have something that feels right and, [...]
I ♥ New York.
First, they legislate a ban on trans-fats. Now, they will require any restaurant with 10 or more locations nationwide to list nutrition information in their menu.1 Okay, this still won’t help if you prefer to eat at local mom-and-pops or sketchy, street-corner taco trucks, like I do, but it’s a fine place [...]

We’ve officially transferred over to the new weigh-in procedures: Sunday posts with reported changes in the week’s average weight.
March 7th is the last day I’m allowed to go to a Weight Watchers meeting, due to a very unceremonious cancelation [...]
A “cold snap”1 this week made us hanker for comfort food and I had been craving homemade tomato soup for a while. Craving satisfied. See above.
Nights like last night make me wish I were independently wealthy. Maybe I wouldn’t hire a personal chef after all, since I got so much satisfaction out of making the [...]
Friday has been my traditional weigh-in day, so I thought today was as good a day as any to describe my new weighing procedures. In the long and slow process of breaking up with Weight Watchers, I’ve had to re-think my need for accountability and come up with some alternative-yet-sane way to measure my goals.
What sort of amazes me is how much time and energy it takes to eat well and be mindful about things. For me, even after I had pretty well gotten the bingeing under control, I still had a problem with fast food and not, of course, because it tastes so much better than its opposite. [...]
My mother, of course, owned a bathroom scale when I was growing up.
It was a bubblegum-pink monstrosity of a thing, skinned with a textured vinyl sheet. The scale lived between the toilet and the sink and delivered The Truth through its square little window. That dial face registered weights up to 200 pounds, but was [...]

Between Thursday night’s extreme Valentine’s Day celebrations (with additional bonus 6-month Anniversary footage and a director’s commentary) and Friday morning’s early work call (even though Fridays are technically supposed to be my day off), I missed [...]
Maybe it’s a strange thing to talk about on a fitness blog (but, I am a therapist after all), and maybe it’s even stranger to lump one’s anxieties into a category designed to celebrate signs of weight-loss progress, but that’s what you get when you come to the Chronicles. WE LIKE TO KEEP YOU GUESSING.

First things first. I had my hair cut yesterday to celebrate passing the 20-pound milestone, and I think I lost an extra pound. Awesome. Plus cute curliness. Please do take a moment, however, to appreciate the truth of my upper arms. Hello upper arms. How ’bout you hang around a while?
OK. So. I bought this [...]
