In Which Fatso Inhales A Lot Of Water

I was at the Hamilton Water Palace last night – nothing new there, except it’s a Monday, and I haven’t been on a Monday in forever; and I was there for a swim. I’d done something like ten lengths in a row and there was an older guy, looked maybe in his sixties, who was [...]

Weekly Weigh-in #31: July 29, 2012

+11lbs 25st 7lbs(357lbs/161.93kg) (+10lbs/4.55kg) I’m not even sure how it’s possible for a person to gain 11lbs in a week, but apparently I did it? I actually moved my Zero Scale into the living room, onto a carpeted floor, and it’s weighing me as having lost 23lbs, which isn’t right, because that puts me down [...]

In Which Fatso Is Facing Yet Another Setback

My body wants me to roll over and give up. I’m half tempted to listen to it. Only half tempted, mind you, in those minutes and hours when the painkillers aren’t quite working correctly. For two weeks now, I’ve been getting this extra pain in my hip that doesn’t go away, even after I’ve taken [...]

Weekly Weigh-in #30: July 22, 2012

+2lbs 24st 10lbs(346lbs/156.94kg) (-1lbs/0.45kg) *throws hands in the air* In food-related news, I think I ate my entire week’s worth of calories tonight. Given that result above, I probably shouldn’t have, but it was Dad’s birthday yesterday – and he was working yesterday – so we, those of us who are left in Hamilton, went [...]

In Which Fatso Wants To Dance

My downstairs neighbours probably hate me. Whenever I’m doing anything that takes any amount of time, I usually put my iPod on and listen to my “CHEERY AS spinning FUCK!” playlist – a mixture of a playlist called, “CHEERY AS FUCK!” and my “spinning” playlist, which is actually a mixture of songs we’ve used in [...]

Weekly Weigh-in #29: July 15, 2012

+2lbs 24st 8lbs(344lbs/156.04kg) (-3lbs/1.36kg) And I’m back up to 344lbs again. Excuse me while I facepalm. I have no excuse for the weight gain this week. I simply overate. I was going to say “I didn’t even eat too many snacks!“, but then, my idea and definition of “too many snacks,”probably vastly differs from a [...]

In Which Fatso love(s) it!

So, after the whole thing with the newspaper articles, I was excited to hear that a national magazine wanted to run my story. A little different to what the newspapers had run, though – they wanted to focus on my food addiction and binge eating; the things that had made me fat, instead of my [...]

In Which Fatso Talks To Herself

Dear Tracy: Let’s have a wee talk, shall we? First: yes, the new schedule’s working out fine. Zumba’s excellent, except for the part where all of your appointments seem to happen on Tuesdays and knocking out your Tuesday Zumba, but other than that: fine. But you need to do your feet a favour and wear [...]

Product Review: Skinny Sprinkles®

When I was browsing Facebook, or playing Mall World on Facebook, or doing SOMETHING on Facebook, there was a sponsored advert that caught my eye: a product called Skinny Sprinkles®. I checked out the website to find out what the product was, fell in love with the retro style, and was a bit cheeky, and [...]

Weekly Weigh-in #28: July 8, 2012

-2lbs 24st 6lbs(342lbs/155.13kg) (-5lbs/2.27kg) OH MY GOD, DOWNWARD MOTION. God knows why it happened this week, because I honestly didn’t do anything different to last week, except I exercised less because of the new exercise schedule. Hey, maybe it’s working? We’ll see, after this coming week. Could just be that my diet’s been better than [...]
