In the past few days I have been contacted by multiple readers and no…don’t worry… I’m not going to divulge any names. But once again I want to share with everyone the fact that even if you feel like no one in the world could be experiencing something as horrible as what you may be [...]

Objects in mirror are smaller than they appear.
When people see me in a t-shirt and shorts and I tell them that I’m trying to get ready for a BBing competition they always give me the once over and give me a skeptical look. I’ve even had people say that some of my pictures make me look so much bigger or so much [...]
Ab update!
Well…I have been freaking out for the past few weeks because my trainer’s been telling me what a fat back I have. But I think I’m getting a handle on the tummy chub. I wonder what would happen if I went on stage and when the head judge instructs everyone to quarter turn to the [...]
Sorry sweetie.
My husband passed along this news story about an economics professor who imposed a sin tax on his children. Basically, the father made the child pay a 100% tax on any candy purchased. The tax was based on how much B.’s candy consumption would add to the family’s health costs, because of increased dental visits [...]
I can’t make this stuff up.
So I’m at the gym yesterday working out arms and this older woman with the most adorable foreign accent comes up to me…taps me on the shoulder and says, “Sweetie, please stop lifting those weights. You are starting to get so big! You need to be careful so that you don’t start to look likeĀ [...]
I’m no different than anyone else.
The farther I get into my cut, the more messages I get from readers from here and the other sites where I contribute wanting to know what my secret is. Everyone wants to know how I’m doing it. Do I have some magical diet plan that I’m following? What supplements am I taking? What routine [...]
When your loved one won’t or can’t admit they’re sick.
The Wall Street Journal ran an interesting article about the frustrations of trying to deal with a loved one that is depressed but won’t seek treatment. People who are mentally ill yet refuse or are unable to admit it or seek help may feel shame. They may feel vulnerable. Or their judgment may be impaired, [...]
The Fat Fair.
I just got home from visiting the Canfield Fair with my family. We had a fabulous time taking the girls on rides and playing games. But absolutely nothing compares to the quality people watching we got in today. Seriously. There is nothing quite like watching several thousand obese people treat themselves to deep fried pop [...]
Should listen to my own advice.
When I first started this blog and I had only been back to my old self for a short while I blogged about how people trying to recover from any mental illness should keep the amount of mood altering chemicals they put into their bodies to an absolute minimum. Well…I didn’t think I was losing [...]
Carbs 1, Redhead 0.
Well, I’ve built my muscles as big as they’re going to get before this damn competition. And I’ve been making every excuse possible to try to do a standard cutting diet to lean down. But it’s not working…at least not fast enough. So what the hell am I gonna do? I’m going to cut carbs. [...]
