. . . no matter how strictly I stay on my diet.

My diet: 45% peanut butter and jelly sandwiches; 45% breakfast cereal. And 10% pepperoncini.

My husband asks me whether I'm getting any cardiovascular {mumble mumble; I stopped listening}. What a soulless way to look at things.

2 Alternatively, one can simply rotate naked in front of a mirror, reminding oneself over and over that there are a few angles from which a waistline is still visible.

3 Testimonial time: Pilates gave me a waistline like I haven't had since before the kids were born. And your soulless husband is right about the cardiovascular: It's not just the calories it burns, but it changes your metabolism. I lost 40 pounds just by walking.

4 Um. PBJ's. Crockpot and/or pressure cooker? I approve of PBJ's myself. Breakfast cereal too. Oh! Are the appliances for the pepperoncini? k

5 Oddly enough, I did see a recipe for beef in the Crock-Pot that called for salad peppers. Nope; the small appliances are for weekends, when I actually cook. It's chaos during the week.

6 Might I recommend the book "French Women Don't Get Fat"? Forgot the author, but she gives practical, timeless advice on how to lose weight (eat less, walk more), but she does it in a way that leaves you guilt-free. Fact: only 30% of French women are overweight, as opposed to 60% American women.

7 That's either because they don't have Wheaties there, or because French women drink wine as if it were water.
