Loneliness has been bugging me lately. It’s a strange thing. I believe, in most peoples head, the word “loneliness” conjures up a picture of a person sitting alone in a room feeling sad. That’s fair. But, someone wiser than me once said, “There’s nowhere more lonely than a crowded room.” I can’t remember who said […]

The House Husband
A couple of weeks ago I dropped the only class I was taking. I dropped it because I failed to turn in an essay and chose to withdraw from the class rather than get a low grade. It was my professor’s suggestion, actually. What he didn’t know, however, is that I’m on academic probation. I […]
Still Gaining
I just got home from Weight Watchers and once again I’m not happy. I gained another 2.8 lbs. I’m now at a total of 58 lbs. lost. Sounds great except at one point I was at 90 lbs. total lost. (sigh) You may recall that I gave all my bigger clothes to Goodwill and had bought inexpensive […]
Gain a Few, Lose a Few
(sigh) Another frustrating weigh in on Saturday. I knew the scale was not going to be my friend. It practically growled at me when I walked in the door. I’d made a decision, beforehand, that I was not going to get weighed. My tighter clothing told me it was not going to be pretty. I […]
Bummed out Again at Weigh-In
Last Saturday past I lost exactly one pound. It might not sound like much but it broke a six week cycle of weight gains. I was happy to see my losing streak was over…that was until this most recent Saturday weigh in. I gained three pounds. It wasn’t surprising. I knew I was going to […]
Up I Go Again
Once again, Saturday was the magical weigh in at Weight Watchers.I gained 1.5 pounds. That may not sound like much, but sadly this was the 6th week in a row I’ve gained. Feeling discouraged, but hanging on because I know the program works. On the plus side, I met with two other members who are […]
What Kind of Week Was It?
Well, it’s the end of the week and I’ve had it in my head that it’s been a good week and was wondering what I could post about today. Then I realized something – I have totally ignored my food intake and my exercise this entire week. I don’t know what my weight is currently, […]
Nuthin’ Special
I went up again on Saturday’s official weigh in. I increased my weight to 225 pounds which is nearly a 2 pound gain. At one time I had lost net 90 pounds. But now I’m at a net 78 pounds lost. This is disheartening, because I worked so hard for those 90 pounds. I know going back […]
Under Pressure
Once again I’m finding myself under a lot of pressure, today starting with overeating. Yesterday, Maurice and I, walked down to a BBQ restaurant in our neighborhood and I ate like a king. A gluttonous king, of course. Then we went to the movies and I had a large dark chocolate bar. Then, when we got home […]
Trying to “Weight” Patiently
The last time I posted about my weight was about 3 weeks ago. I weighed 218 pounds. Since then I gained a bit here and lost a bit there. Overall, unfortunately, I gained more than I lost. On Saturday I had my Weight Watchers weekly weigh in and I weigh 223 pounds. 5 pounds gained […]
