It's a great book, with a healthy attitude toward being able to lose weight without depriving yourself of good food. Diets are counterproductive. So are scales. We (as in most Americans) just need to practice moderation. Just don't give up cooking!Beth Meluccinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-51106358797880756042011-02-01T13:01:59.607-08:002011-02-01T13:01:59.607-08:00I think a dose of self-deprecation is the key, or ...I think a dose of self-deprecation is the key, or at least a balance of happy posts and down-but-not-out ones. <br /><br />I have strong arms, too and am convinced I have maids in my family tree, who lugged pails of water, scrubbed floors and ironed fiercely.Girl Detectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348689834879722062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-90618710635666212592011-02-01T12:54:24.373-08:002011-02-01T12:54:24.373-08:00Go ahead and balance being healthy with enjoying f...Go ahead and balance being healthy with enjoying food! That's what makes life challenging and also fun. I have managed to lose 25 lbs Verrrrryyyyy slllloowwwly over the last year, and I would welcome your trying and critiquing recipes that taste good and are low-fat, or desserts that are terrifically yummy and yet still good for you. The occasional indulgent recipe - also good. I say go for it. There's lots of us out here with the same challenge and we'd love to hear your thoughts...Karenhttp://www.literarylunchbox.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-79759259038714885582011-02-01T12:17:00.264-08:002011-02-01T12:17:00.264-08:00Wonderful post.

After gaining weight, I was surprised that my doctor called me "perfect."<br /><br />In any case, if you do diet, I'm sure you will do it right, not deprive yourself, & keep cooking!Erikanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-72807415504612944782011-02-01T11:52:59.702-08:002011-02-01T11:52:59.702-08:00What an interesting, bracing, risk-taking, enterta...What an interesting, bracing, risk-taking, entertaining, honest post.

Congratulations.<br />As to bodies and such: one thing in Little Bee that stuck with me was her assertion that scars are beautiful, because they mean you lived. I'm not sure the same can be said for seventeen extra pounds. And if I had great ideas for disappearing them, I would use them myself, so I will watch with interest to see what works. <br />And thanks for the hat tip to the Armagnac chicken. It has been a huge, huge hit here with everyone lucky enough to get near it!Ooniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15162162953846737959noreply@blogger.com
