He sells tham at A couple of Farmers Markets (although I am not sure which ones) and they are available at a small handlful of stores (though not enough).

Be careful... they are wonderfully addicting. I stocked up on about 8 packages over the holidays.

I've tried dieting. I keep getting bogged down by those pesky between snack meals.

It's been one month, and I have at least one skirt actually won't stay on my hips anymore.

I realize I didn't post much in this thread initially, but I didn't really want to talk about it until I'd made some progress. I've been eating an average of 1300 calories per day, in 300-calorie small meals every three hours (per my dietician's prior suggestion). The strangest thing has happened. My appetite used to be pretty insatiable. I ate good food, but I ate too much of it. By eating constantly (or, so it must seem to those around me who watch me go to the office fridge every three hours) I have managed to reduce my stomach capacity to such a smaller amount that I can't even finish a sandwich from a restaurant anymore. It's only truly hard if I get off schedule and get hungrier than my stomach can consume (which I try to prevent.) Or if I'm in an emotionally bad place (yesterday, with the bad family news, it was a challenge but I still managed to come in under 1500.)

So. Month two.

WTG! That's great, LS!

(Except for the bad family news, of course)

Wow! Just fantastic news! You keep on keeping on! I'm on the dine every 3 hours too and it is amazing how much more energy I have.

Sorry to hear here peripherally of the bad family news, I hope things work out or are in a better space today. Feel free to vent as needed in this or any other thread LSPE.

Grrr. I'm almost there. Still not running every day like I should be, but I am still playing soccer every week (no game today due to adverser field conditions) and I've been jogging at least one other time during the week. But I really need to up that to daily or near daily. Meanwhile, my eating habits are...better but not good.

I'm glad to hear that it's working out for you, too-- I think it's much better for blood sugar, particularly. (Not that I'm diabetic, but it's good to avoid those crazy peaks as much as possible.)

And thanks for the support-- no improvement is really possible at this point, except for numbing (for which "improvement" as a descriptor is questionable.) I think I've vented all I feel able to vent in the Open Mic forum. Sigh.

LSPE, I hear you lost some weight. I think I found it. I've been on the "sit on my ass in front of a computer and eat crappy processed food even though my wife is eating healthier and encouraging me to do the same" diet. It's working wonders. Corn dog, anyone?

Hey, quit talking, open up another Twinkie, and churn out those Mousepods damnit!

I reread your Open Mic contribution, it reads much differently to me now.
