Thintuition
I could write on and on about the benefits of Thintuion, this “method”, this extremely un-common sense method for losing weight. About 3 years ago, I decided never to diet again. I gained 25 pounds! But I stopped obsessively thinking about food and it has been heavenly! For those of you who have ever thought about food [...]
Advice to myself after Thanksgiving
I had one of those rolling around mornings where I woke up, laid in bed, started to think about getting up and then drifted back into dreaming. Rinse, repeat. Eventually when I was more awake, I started indulging in one of my bad habits which is imagining that I can go back in time and [...]

Animal Rights, what do you think?
I was listening to an interview with Peta activist Dan Matthews today on the radio. (I’d link to it if I could find it for you!) He recently wrote a book about trying to bring animal cruelty issues to the public called Committed. It’s an interesting issue that I’ve been thinking about for a long [...]
In Defense of Food
My food resolution this year is simple: eat food. What else would I eat, you ask? Well, according to Michael Pollan in his book In Defense of Food, there is now a lot of edible non-food available in the grocery store. He writes about the history of food in America and how the idea of [...]
Christmas Stories
Check out Tinsel Tales on NPR for some Christmas stories, cuddle up by the fire, take a walk in the desert, look out over the Ocean and listen to some stories. I especially like John Henry Faulk’s Christmas Story. What are your Christmas stories? I don’t even know if I have Christmas stories… let’s see… [...]
