On the eve of both New Year’s, and my 26th Birthday (yep, I’m a New Year’s Baby), I’ve decided to share some progress pics.
Mardi Gras, 2007
Yesterday, from the side…
Yesterday, from the front…
I went onto MyVirtualModel.com and made a model of what I may look like at my goal weight of 120 lbs. Looks pretty [...]

There seems to be a mentality that some weight gain in life is inevitable and completely unpreventable. For instance, when we age, or when women have children, they are almost expected to get fat. The thing is, becoming fat is not essential to having a healthy pregnancy. In fact, it can put [...]

Some people have a really hard time taking criticism. Some people get depressive and down on themselves if they receive even constructive and helpful criticism, and some people turn into a powderkeg and explode with defensive anger at those who criticize them. I used to be the former, I would never get mad [...]

Losing weight has been great for me, in both major, life-altering ways and in those little ways that one doesn’t always take note of but appreciates anyway. Here is my list of those little things that make me happy that I’ve been losing weight:
* My thighs don’t rub together and chafe painfully as they [...]

Shame is a funny emotion. We feel shame usually when we’ve done something unethical to others, or when we’ve done something embarrassing. It seems that shame in our culture is now looked upon as something no one should have to feel for any reason and to be avoided at all costs. The [...]

Yeah, I know you’d probably have to be living under a rock not to have noticed Fail Blog by now, but it is essentially a series of videos and photos that showcase things going very, very wrong in a funny way. I usually take a look at it when I’m feeling down about something [...]

The title of this article is amusing to me: “Sneaky ways to cut 100 calories…” click here to be sneaky! I found the tips to be more common sense than anything. Just like the 20 Worst Foods in America link from Men’s Health, you have to click on each item on the list to [...]

I told myself I’d only do a post a day, but I’ve decided to discuss something more today which has been on my mind. I notice a lot of fat people will tell thin people that they don’t need to exercise because they’re thin, that they should “eat something” because they’re so skinny. [...]
