EFFINDIETS

photo credit: ~ggvic~ Yes, you’re on my mind again.  I imagine by now you’re learning to live with it. (I guess what else can you do, especially if you’ve heard the news that I’ve gotten my “President of Your Fan Club” cards printed up.) OK maybe that was a little presumptuous of me. But, just [...]

Sure, we all probably know the basic drill. But just in case there’s something more you could be doing, I’m laying out this checklist based upon the years and years of time I did on the scale.  There is a slight chance that I’ve left something out – you go on enough diets, you lose [...]

Who am I telling this to.  You KNOW the best day to start the Effa Diet. Hells yeah, Monday! (Well, actually, right now is the best time, but if you want to diet until Monday because it will be the last one you’re planning on being on, do whatcha gotta do.) Do you want to [...]

I’ve been on a lot of diets, maybe you have been,too. Most required that I fill out a daily food log, perhaps you have also had some experience with those. As you know if you have, the point of these food logs is that you can see what you might not have noticed you have been [...]

They don’t, until they visit their girlfriends in America. And American women don’t diet when they move in with their Parisian cousins. Dieters are not born, they are made.

We tune into a judge’s chambers in a courthouse somewhere in DietLand… The accused…a woman. The charge…she often eats when she is not hungry. “You can’t be serious. You again?! How do you plead this time?!” the judge roars. “Every day and earnestly”, the woman replies, “with myself, to stop. I am as ashamed of [...]

Dieting can feel like holding your breath, holding on for as long as you can, and then having to come up for air.
