There are days I look at my photos (like today) and I just don’t feel like I am getting anywhere. I see a fat chick staring back at me. It just drives me nuts. I never know if I am seeing myself objectively or if I have the old me stuck in my memory.
I am […]

Is Aspartame safe?
Published in May 30th, 2008
Posted by healthyh in How I started
If you believe what you read on the aspartame website, then you might think it is completely safe. Now if you go to it’s critic’s site, then you would think aspartame is the anti-Christ. So who is correct?
Well there have been studies that suggest there is a link between the consumption of aspartame and diseases […]
More on High Fructose Corn Syrup aka Crystalline Fructose
Published in May 29th, 2008
I am not done with my rant about this. It seems just about every boxed or packaged food contains high fructose corn syrup. Why is it so widely used now in place of sugar?
There seem to be 3 main reasons:
1. Cheaper
2. Easier to use
3. Longer shelf life
So it wasn’t like sugar wasn’t bad enough. Now […]
Anti Cancer Foods and the EVIL High Fructose Corn Syrup aka Crystalline Fructose
Published in May 28th, 2008
The whole reason I got started on this weight loss journey was the fear of cancer. I have an unbelievable rate of cancer in my family on both sides of the family. I was scared of dying at a young age from cancer so I started to research prevention. Funny because most people will not […]
Living in Denial

Okay, I am going to be careful with this one to protect the guilty. This lady I know came by my home last night. She tells me how she was told by the doctor that she needs to be put on insulin for her diabetes. I asked her if she planned to join the gym […]
Feeling sorry for myself
Published in May 26th, 2008
Tonight I was looking through old photos with family and came across a picture from Christmas. I couldn’t believe how heavy I was in the photo. It was okay because it was from a couple years ago…or so I thought. Then I realized it was actually this past Christmas…as in 5 months ago. I distinctly […]
My “CHEAT” Day
Published in May 25th, 2008
Yesterday I had a birthday party for my son. Once again I was tempted with cake, ice cream and a plethora of other crap foods. I would have had to think twice about tasting the cake except that I purposely ordered a butter cream frosting instead of whipped cream to remove the temptation. I hate […]
I have ribs
Published in May 23rd, 2008
A couple of months ago I started noticing my bones such as my collar bone and my hip. It had been so long since I could see them that it was a strange find when I moved my fingers over my body and felt them for the first time in many years. The other day […]

Last night I stopped in the grocery store on my way to the gym to grab a gallon of water. As I walked through the door I noticed a couple sitting next to one another waiting for the bagger to take their groceries for them. The woman was about 50 years old, over 350 pounds […]
