There was a very funny episode of Third Rock from the Sun where John Lithgow's character was concerned about having gained a little weight. So he attends Weight Watchers-like meetings with Jane Curtin's character. It's all very funny (disclosure - I'm a WW graduate) and at the end of the episode, he declares that he has succeeded. When asked why, he says "I bought bigger pants."

I made fresh blueberry buttermilk waffles over the weekend and Irish soda bread yesterday. When I get depressed, I bake.

I expected that would mean I would appear heavier than I am. Instead I'm ten pounds heavier in real life. Damn that Zoom!

It took me a week, but I ate the whole thing!

I'm going to wait at least a week before I get back on the scales! Living alone can have disadvantages. No one to help me eat the pie!
