Note to self cutting back calories SUCKS. 110 cal protein shake + 3 ounces of chicken (144 calories) + a protein minibite (100 calories + 2 mini babybel cheeses at 50 calories eat = cranky me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, I want you to have my appetite. I don't know if I'm quite that low, but I'm at about one meal a day, if that. Stretched out. It's annoying me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
cutting back calories SUCKS.
It really does. And I'm only dabbling at it trying to decide if I can do it for real. Today, I failed.

Preach it. I, like Cass, am only dabbling at it right now.
Jilli, I don't have any frilly bloomers for Matilda? Where can I find them in toddler size?
Erm, maybe Dharma Trading Co? I don't know.

I'm finding I'm sort of an all or nothing eater.
Like when I go all out on calorie control, I can do it. When I leave no wiggle room for myself, I do better. When everything is black or white and I can it eat it or not.
I can't be trusted to eat like a real person until I get down to my goal weight and maintain it for like 6 months. This is how I was tiny even carrying twins.
I'd like to be this thin again (and I was barely just pregnant in this picture. I liked how I looked and I felt good.
I have a better haircut now and less time to obsessively work out, but if I could approximate that, I'd be happy.

I'm not sure why somebody would object to Yo Gabba Gabba. You're either a parent who appreciates the better-than-usual kid's music or you're not watching it.
Or, sometimes you're forced to watch it with an adorable little girl who loves it, and that's worth more than the possible objection.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was being good, but not so much lately. After I get back from the con, I will start again.
Hey ita (and Suzi, Amy, Cass, and Zenkitty), I sent you pictures of the rest of the Leverage cast.
They have hair too, but it's not the same thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks! Maybe this weekend I'll get my photos from the con off my camera and onto Flickr.

I can't do the drastic changes. I can't even start them or maintain them. I may do some caloric dep, but I have to be careful lest I completely lose my emotional balance. Honestly for me, the whole routine has to change.
Luckily for me, stress+ no a/c + pasta becoming a total gastrobomb lead to discovering salads really really work for me. And I liked them. If I didn't, I'd be screwed. As well as meetings on floors that cause me a lot of stairwalking. And..I don't know. I mean, the past year, I've been doing the swim/walk thing, and while that's made me stronger, the weight drop came before that, largely. I've actually gained weight since that, though I've shrunk, but that makes sense (muscle vs fat.)
Difference from 3 or 4 years ago? I'd largely say it was that I like my life now. Before, I was surviving. Whether that has a factor in my physical health, well, someone else can decide. I'm just happy.
