Kathy, I love reading about your progress. Thanks for sharing so openly.

I fear the scales are going the other way for me. It would be so much easier for me if food just wasn't so frakking yummy. Fer realz.

I'm at work (in the office) and feeling pretty damned virtuous about it. But I am not actually doing anything so I don't deserve to feel smug.

Too true. I took Maggie and Emmett to Zazie for breakfast yesterday. Maggie had the egg nog soaked French toast. I had the Eggs Genvieve (black forest ham, fontina and avocado). Mmmm. This morning I swung by the Boulange after dropping off Matilda and picked up pastries, and split a Croque Monsieur.

Then I took them to Chinatown and North Beach and split two foccacia bread sandwiches at Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store.

Then we staggered home and had Bi-Rite ice cream.

So, yeah. Going the wrong way for the holiday.

Oh shit! Yesterday was Onerous Task Day and we forgot.

Time to reschedule.

That's why I eventually decided on having the surgery. I love tasty food so much, and I always seemed to have problems stopping after a certain portion size. I never binged to the bulimia level, but I never was able to stop eating some Ben&Jerry's ice cream after only a bowl of it, but would have to have the entire pint. I even did that with a half-gallon of ice cream occasionally--I'd start with an Edy's container and then not realize how much I'd eaten until I was scraping the bottom of it. When I'd make egg salad with a dozen eggs, I'd eat just about all of it in one night. Even something as healthy as some TJ's ginger carrots, I'd make up the entire bag and then eat the whole thing for dinner.

So, for me, surgery was the best way to go.

Showing up is 90 percent.

Okay, I've bought all my Dad's Christmas presents already, but now the complete series of The Wire is today's Gold Box deal at Amazon, and that was on his wish list. So I'm torn.

By the way, the complete series of The Wire is today's Gold Box deal.

And...I found a batch of other crap-level SD cards. Grr. Best Buy twice in one day, on top of a visit to Fry's. I'm a masochist.

But! Last meeting is complete. I just have to email out some project info, and I'm done for the YEAR.

Oh shit! Yesterday was Onerous Task Day and we forgot.

ha! Oh wait, I mean, ooops! Must get right on that!

Oh Kathy, I have been you. Sugar addiction is like any other. How much did you drink? All of it. How many cookies did you eat? All of them.

I'm glad this solution is working for you!

I love washing all my Justice League shirts together. Now GL, Supes, Bats, and Flash are all hanging up to dry side by side.

I almost feel bad Wonder Woman got left out.

You guys, it's a Buffista Christmas miracle. I was cranky, but put on a tape from David and an apron from megan, and made scones, which I cut with cookie cutters I got from Ginger (? if not, oops, sorry), and I'm feeling Much Better about everything.

In weight news, I was amused to learn at the doctor yesterday that I am almost exactly the weight I was for years, before I gained some, lost a bunch, and gained back. Yep, I guess this is the size I am.
