I have a crap diet and don't exercise, and I'm very lucky that my weight hasn't changed in years. There's way too much to me, but at lesat it's stable. Now if I can introduce something more healthy and stick with it, I should be able to make an impact.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

but I hate that every dang day is such a fight....
Indeed. I've gained 40 pounds in the last year. (on top of the 50 I gained in the past few decades) I've now managed to drop 9 of them. My mantra has been that there is damned little in this life I have control over, but what I eat and how much I exercise is totally my choice. It seems overwhelming to have 80 pounds still to go, but I am feeling more hopeful about it than I have in years.
Going to the gym the last couple days after cramming my bulk into too tight workout clothes and/or bathing suits has been humiliating, but damned if I am going to buy bigger gym clothes.
Short version, gaining weight is a whole lot more fun than losing it.

Co-signed. Though for me it's still 7 or 8 hours away. Still Do Not Want.
Steph - Received your package this weekend - starting experimentation!
Also Steph - What was that recipe for peanut butter cookies you liked? I think it was only like 3 or 4 ingredients. I've been in the mood for PB cookies for an age and I've got a party on Wednesday I could make them for (thus saving myself from eating the whole batch by myself).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Also Steph - What was that recipe for peanut butter cookies you liked? I think it was only like 3 or 4 ingredients.
Super easy!
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder (although people say you can leave this out if you want)
Mix the peanut butter, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl, and then add the egg to the mixture. It's kind of a pain to mix it all up -- the peanut butter makes it very stiff, so you have to work for it.
Make little balls of the dough, roll them in more sugar, and then put them on the baking sheet and make that criss-cross pattern with a fork. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven and let the cookies rest on the tray for at least 5 minutes. Afterwards, let them cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes.
Unrelatedly, did you get the makeup I sent? It should be there by now.

Peanut butter cookies are my all time favorite. Then again, I have a deep love of peanut butter anything.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's fantastic.

This is fabulous. (And just gave me an idea for a white elephant party I might be going to this weekend...)
And Steph, I did receive the makeup. See earlier message - oh, wait, I distracted you with peanut butter. That's my fault. Sorry. And yes, that's the recipe I was looking for. Thanks again!
