Or, don’t worry, my lady lumps are still abundant
Today's looking thin in pictures tip: wear lime green Crocs and white socks. People will be too busy tsk-ing you for giving up, that they won't even hardly notice your muffin top.

There really isn’t a whole lot of progress to report yet. I’m kind of feeling blah about the whole thing. My weight’s been more or less steady (see chart below), although to be fair without getting tmi, there is a heavy half and a light half of the month, and I am in the heavy half. Perhaps that is also why I feel so blah. It’s also allergy season, so my appetite is waning and I feel lousy much of the time. I’m hoping that eating more fermented foods, especially kimchi, will help with that. I’m going to make some homemade kimchi this week. Expect a post.
I went ahead and bought some nose clips to try. I read the book but I still don’t quite get the reasoning behind it. People say it works, so I’ll give it a try. It might come in handy for this not really related but sort of kind of is thing I bought at Piggly Wiggly today:
Chicken in a can, brains in a can
I don’t know why people say it’s so hard to be a food writer and stay on a diet.
You can keep up with my daily progress on the IHMMB Forums. All are welcome to start their own diet and fitness journals!

See you next week when I’ll tell you how the nose clips worked out!

I give you much credit for keeping it going. Are nose plugs for stopping the smelling of food? I have no sense of smell so I have nose plugs installed. I wish you all the luck-I love the whole chicken in a can!

Pork brains? In milk gravy? Good grief! Just the sight of that can, in a strategically placed location, would work so well as an appetite suppressant. Good luck on the diet.

Jay, you have no sense of smell? Really? I’ve never met anyone with no sense of smell before. I hope it doesn’t cause you too much trouble.
And apparently, it’s an ENTIRE chicken in there. You are supposed to chill it before removing. I don’t want to think about why.
Hi Christopher! I think it’s the milk gravy that really throws one, isn’t it? Why milk gravy? If you look at the picture closely, it looks like a plate of scrambled eggs with tiny miniature brains in it.
And I need to get cracking on this diet, shorts season is coming up and it’s not so much that I’m vain, it’s that I need to fit into my nice summer clothes!
Hi Tracy – This is the first I’ve heard of using a nose clip for dieting (?) purposes. I do see how it would work though as when I’m cooking, even I can’t resist tasting what I’m making. I think it would help if I got some of that whole canned chicken and pork brains, and forget the Paula Deen recipes.

Phew! That’s better!
Waaaaaay back in 1980, I had a college roommate named Moses. From Africa. Serious. Used to eat them that canned chickens all the time. Rude-O-Rama!

I know a guy that was in a car wreck and had lots of facial injuries. He lost his sense of smell. He lost tons of weight and had to really work at eating.
Be sure to take pics of your face when eating the brains and whole canned chicken.
U r awesome lady….. ( :
