It's been a long, strange trip so far on this journey to sanity and weight loss, which I'm finding out are mutually exclusive goals.

Will Losing Weight Make You Fat?
Will Losing Weight Make You Fat?
An excerpt:
"I often joke that the easiest way to gain 25 lbs is to lose 20!"
"Unfortunately, this may not be much of a joke, as there is mounting evidence that intentional weight loss may indeed be an important driver of long-term weigh gain."
Even though Dr. Sharma is an obesity expert and even proposes WLS for some people, reading through his site is such a breath of fresh air! Just about everything he has said about the effects of dieting rings true in my own life.

Pattie Thomas has a book out called Taking Up Space: How Eating Well and Exercising Regularly Changed My Life. If you click on this link it'll take you to a preview of the book, a place where you can read the book, page by page, as if it's on one of those electronic book readers like Kindle.
I recommend this book for everybody. Great read.
