It is self defeating and unhealthy. Your Weight Watcher Wacko is not a nutritionist, she is a living breathing commercial in the rogue style previously referenced in these comments. It sounds like your editor wants you to narrow rather than expand your market share in regards to your literary focus. That's bullshit. Get a second opinion. Tell stories. Let the undertone hum in the background. Don't let it become a drum solo that goes on for the entire album.

I could say that I'm about 15 lbs over my goal weight, but doing 1 1/2 hours of exercise daily plus walking the puppy at half hour intervals is getting me FIT. I could care less what the lying bastard bathroom scale tells me. It's how do I FEEL? Am I getting more limber? More endurance? Am I effectively convincing myself that I actually LIKE this regimen? I've been all over the weight spectrum, and I just want to be healthy. PERIOD.<br />(And yes, certain fruits are high on the glycemic scale, no better than Jolly Rancher candy.)My own Damn Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699618498157378648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-48924831287822966732012-08-24T17:03:53.326-07:002012-08-24T17:03:53.326-07:00I am curious (orange if not yellow) about fruit...I am curious (orange if not yellow) about fruit's toll. I wonder about the sugar vs the fiber and which wins the battle for nutrition or bulk. After all the decades WW has been around (I recall my dad trying to deal with some frozen meals or packaged dinners my mom found him, and you can imagine his disdain), you'd think they'd be able to target causes and effects better. But then, the NYT touts this week a bestselling diet book touting no veggies, no fruit, and all the meat or carbs you can load: this proves the folly or profit in hucksterism. <br /><br />Shades of Melville's "The Confidence Man" and the chapters of the Duke and Dauphin in "Huck Finn." Funny how Great Republic tends to be ground zero for whatever fad boosts our spirits and empties our wallets. A student spoke this week about ShakeWeights.<br /><br />I'm proud you've got a contemporary, L.A. (if not, say, Hometown Buffet) version of <i>sitzfleisch</i>: getting up off the duff to exercise, and sticking to it no matter what. I am not alone in noticing how pretty you look, and I have been the proud recipient and interlocutor of such plaudits from others to your way. So many of your friends and those who see you marvel at how your regimen has enriched your beauty. I am happy you are committing to this; I repeat you "look mahvaluss"!<br /><br />And think of the dawns you and a panting Corgi or sleek pound dog get to view! Taffy's trimmer too. xxx meJohn L.
