Has anyone caught an episode of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew? I’m not a fan of reality TV or VH1 (I’ve never forgiven them for following in MTV’s footsteps and abandoning music videos), so until recently I hadn’t realized how shady the show really is.
Take, for instance, the list of various celebrities appearing on the [...]

Not long ago, I noticed a strange thing about the dreams I have at night: I’m always thin in them. Not model thin, mind you, but pretty much with the same body I had before I gained weight. (Read: before I began blogging.)
Back then, of course, I still thought that I needed to lose weight [...]

Ever been running errands and find yourself so hungry that you’re tempted to blow your diet on fast food even though you don’t know how many calories or fat grams you’ll be buying? Well, wonder no more. If you’ve got a cell phone, Diet.com’s Nutrition on the Go service is just a text message away. [...]

Now here’s an idea whose time has come: a walk-up kiosk which administers eye exams. No more appointments and no optometrists with bad breath leaning in your face asking “this one or this one”.
Instead, you merely step up to digital signage which administers tests using various visual stimuli for both near- and far-sightedness, then [...]

So, here I’ve been all smug about finally working out, making an effort to get in shape instead of merely typing about it, and actually watching what I eat. (Not so much on the latter.)
Then today I decide that, because my workout was so hard and the weather was so nice, I’d dig out my [...]

I’ve been telling you for a couple of weeks how easy it is to blog from my treadmill, but I figured maybe I should show you how little effort it really takes to trick one out so you can, too.
First off, mine is a Weslo Cadence C44 treadmill which, despite what other Amazon reviewers [...]

Earlier this week I mentioned that I’ve lost 4 pounds since I bought my new treadmill and began using it while I blog. (Yes, even this entry.)
The scale showed my four pound loss, but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out where that weight came from. Until today when, since I was actually [...]

Apparently, the financial woes plaguing American workers don’t extend to big business, at least not to those engaged in market research. Recently, two experts in that field were asked to analyze their data to determine relationships between voter demographics and what people eat.
No, really.
Their findings? Clinton supporters like Red Lobster, Krispy Kreme and fruit-filled cookies, [...]

In a first of its kind law, the French lower house of parliament passed a bill that would make it illegal for anyone to “incite extreme thinness”, which would include the dissemination of magazine articles featuring anorexic-looking models.
This move, in what’s considered the fashion capital of the world, comes months after Spain banned ultra-thin [...]

In case you’re curious, I’m still keeping up with using my new treadmill while blogging — a fact that’s surprised my husband. When he first rearranged our furniture to make room for the treadmill and then rigged it so I could type while walking (by slapping a board on top of my treadmill’s hand rails [...]
