My daughter is grounded, and it's way worse on me then on her

My daughter is grounded, and it's way worse on me then on her, I do believe. Anyway, grounded from TV, the phone and video games, she is pretty bored and is spending all her time baking. And making marshmallow fondant, which I find inexplicably irresistible. I may have to unground her just to save my waistline.

If there's one thing I've learned about weight loss...

If there's one thing I've learned about weight loss it's that it requires planning. If I fly by the seat of my pants it means I'll need bigger pants.

Kiss the English system of measurement goodbye

There are a bunch of good reasons to kiss the English system of measurement goodbye ... How's this for a reason? If you weighed 190 pounds, you'll mass 86 kg. That's right, a double digit mass.

Gain weight by osmosis

These days it feels like I now have the ability to gain weight by osmosis. I have to run down the cake aisle in the supermarket for fear of having my cells expand just by breathing in too deeply near the chocolate muffins.

If scales could talk

Good thing I never got one of those talking scales from the Sharper Image catalog...Because if I did, mine would be saying, "Girlfriend, what? Did you think you could make a batch of triple layer cookie bars for the kids over the weekend, eat half the pan, and NOT gain a pound?"

I've gained 25 pounds since last December

I've gained 25 pounds since last December. Twenty-three of them went straight to my butt, and the other two went to my face: one pound to Chin #1 and the other to Chin #2.

I feel thin. Isn't weight like age? You're only as thin as you feel?

Some company just came out with a scale that tells you your weight in animals. I can't think of anything more insulting than being told I weigh as much as a hog, or half of a bear. Is this really working for anyone? Does any woman wake up and say "Oh I only weigh 8 ducks today. That's not so bad." I don't think so. By the way, I just did the math and I weigh a satchel of 60 smallish ferrets, or 62,000 newborn hummingbirds.
