Triggers, Triggers Everywhere…

What’s a Trigger?
A trigger is defined as “anything, as an act or event, that serves as a stimulus and initiates or precipitates a reaction or series of reactions.” Weight Watchers has a great article about Eating Triggers on their website. They state that eating triggers fall into three separate categories: trigger foods, trigger feelings, and [...]

Binging Blunder

Friday I didn’t make it to Weight Watchers. Why? Because I was prepping for a marital blow-out, drag down style confrontation. Thursday night Sarcasman and I got into a fight over politics. We are on completely different ends of the political spectrum but usually we are good at playing nice with each other and just [...]

I Eat Too Much. Period.

These past couple months I’ve been in a funk. I’ve just felt melancholy, lethargic, and defeated in life in general. There is no real spur for these emotions, no crisis going on, and no life changing event that spurred my slow downward spiral in depression. I almost wish there was so that I could point [...]

I’m Back (and Fatter than Ever)

Yesterday the final draft of the $40,000,000 project I’m in charge of was put in pdf format and sent routing. Last night was the last exam of the semester. In a few short hours I will turn in my last paper of the semester. Then I get a break. I get- get this- a whole [...]

The One Where Kelly Can’t Seem To Pick Herself Back Up…

I came home distressed. I didn’t feel like the midterm went well. I got my homework back and my grade on it was less than stellar. Negative, nihilistic thoughts danced through my head. I called my mom and told her about my sad state of mind, my worries, and my frustrations. She listened and told [...]

These are my confessions…

Just when I thought I said all I could say / My chick on the side said she got one on the way / These are my confessions…

My confessions:

A Very Messy Middle Day

Yesterday was a low day. I woke up, stepped on the scale… stepped off, peed, stepped on the scale. Looking down and seeing a minimal reduction I accepted the number with a sigh and a shoulder shrug. At that time in the morning I didn’t have much energy or coordination for anything else.
As I drove [...]

Little Victories

I drove around frantically, cursing my universities parking services for not programming the levers to open all parking when it should be open after 4:30 pm. I zipped from student parking lot to student parking lot- all full- as empty red, employee spots speckled the parking lots I should have had access to. I cursed [...]
