I haven't mentioned yet that I'm back on NutriSystem which I did about a year ago for a couple of months. I've been on it, um...four days? Five? I've lost a couple of pounds. Today though I had Ben ... http://dietgrrl.amanita.net/2007/06/29/update/ So I've been hearing about the new Alli pill - I heard about it first from my wife and then again on NPR this morning. It's apparently an FDA-approved weight loss drug, the first over the counter one they have approved. Of course it probably helps that the ... http://dietgrrl.amanita.net/2007/06/14/new-alli-pill/ Why did I just eat that piece of pizza? I didn't even really like it. I haven't had any work food in a long time either. Sigh. http://dietgrrl.amanita.net/2007/06/12/pizza-2/ Somebody on SparkPeople asked what our top two reasons are for weight loss. I said: 1.

Holy shit. I was about 167 before vacation. I have to buckle down and get back to that. I know I'm supposed to be being happy with myself, but I'm not ... http://dietgrrl.amanita.net/2007/06/02/sad-2/ Just wanted to let everybody know that I am back from vacation!

I do this because I'm an insomniac, and all those yummy carbs help me fall asleep fast. But I hate this! I told my doctor about it and she put me on Rozerem, but it ... http://dietgrrl.amanita.net/2007/04/25/midnight-snacks/ Oh, I got rid of the ticker on my SparkPeople profile. It was just depressing me, and that's not what it's about. It's about living healthy and loving myself. Screw the numbers! http://dietgrrl.amanita.net/2007/04/23/ticker/ WHY did I buy an enormous thing of ice cream? And then proceed to eat a bunch?
