Wait...Watchers

It's time to admit it. I'm on Weight Watchers. This is my third time on WW, which clearly points out a couple of things--1. I'm fat again. 2. Maybe WW doesn't work. But I'm trying to be optimistic (at least about #2.) The first time I joined was when I was the summer after 8th grade, and when I showed up to school in 9th grade--no one recognized me. I'd grown out my hair and had stopped eating (I had about 1/2 cup a rice a day). Clearly I was more interested in and worried about weigh-in's than I was about healthy eating and smart choices. But hell, I was in 9th grade and all I cared about was finding a boyfriend and crushing out on my best friends. The second time I was on WW was when I moved back out to CA from NY and I gained a bunch of weight. While in NY, I was an extremely poor graduate student who walked everywhere. In CA, I was happy and eating up a storm and walking nowhere. WW didn't help me very much that time around. But now--here in 2005--I'm coming to WW with a different view. I have a HUGE appreciation for food now, and know how important it is in my life. But I was out of control--traveling for work and eating & drinking far too much--and WW is getting me back on track. If anything, at least I feel better about myself and my eating.

One complaint though--I cannot help but think of all food in terms of points. Not a good way to look at the world.

Impeach Bush? Now there's a good idea...

One of the greatest guys I know--Brad Newsham (author of TAKE ME WITH YOU and cab driver in SF)--has come up with an interesting idea.

I don't have $1,000 to open a bank account right now. But I'm absolutely for impeaching Bush, as it's clear that there is pure evil wandering the halls of the White House. Anyone else have any other ideas? I'm not sure I can stomach another three years.
