Welcome to Mentally Interesting...

This is my little self-improvement experiment. Here I discuss mental health, weight loss, debt elimination, parenthood, pop culture and generally whatever gets me thinking. Be forewarned, we go for brutal honesty here; however, I do play well with others and so should you.

Hi, I’m Fat

Today I am topping out at my heaviest ever. Like, heavier than my previous “heaviest ever”.

215.2 lbs. 42.6% body fat (that’s nearly 92 lbs of JUST FAT). 40DD-46″-46″.

I keep making excuses. My meds (they suck), the worker’s comp induced depression, the stress of moving. When is enough simply enough? (more…)

Call it ‘Covering the Spectrum of the Dwarves’

Though the moving process has been a relatively fluid experience and living with my mother has proven to be much more intrinsic and normal than certain people had estimated, I have been a mood swing maven. Blame the bright sun or the re-restart (no, that isn’t a typo) of meds, but whatever you do, don’t remind me I only seem to be feeding the savage beast with sugar and distraction.

`How do you know I’m mad?’ said Alice.
`You must be,’ said the Cat, `or you wouldn’t have come here.’
Alice didn’t think that proved it at all; however, she went on` And how do you know that you’re mad?’
`To begin with,’ said the Cat, `a dog’s not mad. You grant that?’
`I suppose so,’ said Alice.
`Well, then,’ the Cat went on, `you see, a dog growls when it’s angry, and wags its tail when it’s pleased. Now I growl when I’m pleased, and wag my tail when I’m angry. Therefore I’m mad.’
- Alice in Wonderland

Will write more soon, though when is a question of the hour…

Retourner

Guess who’s back online? ;-)

Though I’m still swamped with boxes and am only 1/4 of the way through unpacking, I have returned to you, my Internet Lovelies. Expect a few entries later this weekend!

Before I entirely disappear for a week, I found this Personality Survey and it was quite interesting…
