February 13, 2008 at 6:14 am Why am I doing this?My friend-of-a-friend actually telephoned. She got the number from our mutual friend. She was worried about me. It was sweet of her. We had a good chat and I think we may become friends directly. No more of this vicarious acquaintance — this, “I danced with a man who danced with a girl who danced with the Prince of Wales.” kind of thing. I suppose, back in the 1920s when the song was popular, the population was smaller so it could actually have been true. Today, only Camilla gets to dance with the Prince of Wales. As if I should care. |

February 8, 2008 at 1:40 am That friend-of-a-friendIt’s most strange but I’m feeling more thoughtful today. Looking back is a strange experience sometimes. You see a snapshot of yourself. That was the “me” who wrote that way back when — even though it’s only a few weeks, it’s sometimes hard to recognize yourself. |

February 5, 2008 at 8:02 am Accused!Well, here I sit in front of my screen accused of misleading all you good people. Naturally, all my family and friends have been reading these pieces and they all give me feedback. They’re all supposed to say encouraging things, but one friend-of-a-friend (someone I barely know) has asked a pointed question or two. |

January 14, 2008 at 2:34 am Women and the health benefits of weight lossBrowsing round the internet, as you do, I came across an interesting woman. She’s Heather Boyle, claiming the age of 32 years and admitting her weight at 422 pounds. She’s a brave soul by my standards. How many of us make no secret of our age or weight? |

October 18, 2007 at 11:00 pm How to Keep Your Diet When You Don’t Eat InIt isn’t a surprise to find out that your “oh so favorite” plate of food is, “oh so fattening”. Let’s face it, when chefs are putting together their menu, they’re thinking taste not calories. And why is it that the more calories a meal has, the more delicious it seems to be (i.e. Cheesecake, anyone)? No one is thinking of the weight conscious when they’re putting that on the menu. The truth is, eating out isn’t at all simple when you’re on a weight loss diet. There are some weight conscious and healthy menus out there, however, even if they really aren’t the norm. So it is still possible to regularly go out for a bite without having to completely break your diet and the amount of calories you’re allowed. |

The most difficult thing is getting started, so if you are reading this and have already decided to take that first step and go for it, then congratulations, you’ve made the most important decision, and one of the hard parts, is over. |

It’s estimated that over half of the American population is overweight and the majority of those people are in some way or another involved in some sort of diet or otherwise in the efforts to shed off those extra pounds. |

October 16, 2007 at 8:05 pm A dietitian’s approach towards fast weight-loss programsWeight Loss Quickies When trying to lose weight, it is normal for typical programs to set goals of weight loss between 1 and 2 pounds per week (~ ½ to 1 kg ). This may not seem like a lot but this type of weight loss actually helps keep the weight off on a more permanent basis. These types of programs help the body maintain a proper metabolism and retain necessary muscle mass. |
