- Tonight I’m supposed to go to my boyfriend’s, Bobby's, mother’s house. I like going over there. It’s in Eagle Rock, near my favorite Target. But tonight, I’m not so sure about going over. My boyfriend knows I have ice-cream issues and warned me that his mom has Breyer’s Cookies N’Cream in the freezer. “I can’t go over there,” I told him. “Not until that ...

- I can't live with food in the house. Not even oatmeal. I used to be able to live with oatmeal as long as there wasn't honey around. I don't know what changed that.
I don't know how my sister does it. She lives with pecans, cashews, almonds, macadamia nuts, dried apricots, raisins, cake batter, cheese, peanut butter - actually, the peanut butter is a problem for her.

- I'm seriously thinking of writing another self-care book , this one focusing on weight. It 's tentatively called "From Weight to Wellness," and the basic idea is not to worry about weight but focus on living the healthiest, most positive life you can.

- The vet says my new cat has to go on a diet! It seems darling Ziggy has gotten obese. How can this be? I've had cats all my life and they've always been self-regulating--downright finicky, in fact. Safeway brand? Thanks but no thanks. Fancy Feast? Maybe tomorrow. I've even had a finicky dog--top of the line only products for him, if you please.

- The other day I was out and overheard a snippet of a conversation between two people, with one of them lamenting about how she had fat genes, and how her whole family was fat.
