Biscuit Poisoning

Thanks to a bona fide doctor in the house, I have discovered the source for my belly fat.
That’s right, I’ve been biscuit poisoned. And not by any biscuit, the kind that come in cans.
Dr. B is from the south, where most genteel women (and men) know how to make a biscuit or two. When we [...]

I Wish I Could Still Fit into My Bikini…

‘Nuff said.

Fat Globules

I have them.
Oh, yes, indeed I do.
Some people who have seen me in real life think I look better than I really do. There are two trains of thought that follow this track. One, they are just being nice to me. Two, they are blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other.

A Celebration of Low Cholesterol

No, I’m not talking about eating twigs and berries for dinner. I’m not giving up my carnivore ways, either.
I’m celebrating the results of my latest cholesterol test. My fat levels came in around 180~
Yippee!

Levels of Fatness

I was just thinking of fatness.
I used to be what I thought was “painfully” thin. People would comment that I was so thin, I would blow away in the wind. Actually, where I grew up, it was always very windy in March. Gale force winds around 80 miles per hour. Indeed, I have blown away [...]

No, I’ve actually been pondering this post [...]

My 1970s View on Fat

Please keep in mind that I don’t harbor any prejudices for fat or thin people; these are just my observations. Many people know I’m sort of on a diet and exercise regimen (I say “sort of” because I’m really weak-willed and things can change daily-actually, now that I think about it, things can make a [...]

Does Getting Old Really Mean I’m Now Fat and Can Only Wear Ugly Clothes?

It’s going to be my birthday, soon. Really, really soon.
I was hoping to forget it altogether, but unfortunately one cannot get into February without passing up my birthday. After that, I tend to dismiss any notions of age and birthdays until just about twenty days before the next one. Then I freak out as per [...]

Back to Business

Because my work takes me to many locations, there are a few days a week where I do not return home until after 7 p.m. Because of this, I am really not in the mood to make a wholesome and nutritious dinner. It is more likely that we will get take out from our local [...]
