Much Ado About Nothing
Kate's comment, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" sounds good to me. (In face, we used to say that in Weight Watchers!)
What's the big fuss?
C'mon people! Lighten up!
Anybody know the skinny on this infamous Ralph Lauren ad? Obviously digitally thinned. But, who's responsible. RL or a hoax?

Roasted Cauliflower with Sage and Lemon
I made this last night...delicious. It's from a NY Times recipe if you want exact measurements.
The Basics:
-
Saute sage leaves in olive oil
-
Drain on paper towel
-
Toss raw cauliflower florets in sage oil, add S&P, roast in 375 oven 'til brown
-
In saute pan, add butter (I used canola/butter hybrid), heat, whisk in lemon juice
-
Toss roasted cauliflower with lemon butter, crumbled sauteed sage leaves, lemon zest and S&P to taste
Perfect with fish.

I have always been thin and never diet. I just eat until I'm full. Sorry.
I'm actually trying to gain a few pounds....but I love your writing and can't wait to read your book.
What a funny, charming blog! I am interested to see how it goes. I don't think I coul dlive thinly ever!!
this blog is amazing! i think it will be a bestseller. its funny and it speaks to soooo many people. it can be for teens, adults, boys and girls (tho very select boys) and it can be for blonds and brunets, plumps and sticks.I LOVE IT!!
what ru doin thanksgioving?
Last year I gave thanks that I didn't eat the tablecloth.
i did eat tablecloth. dinner was late.
I lost 10 lbs by takng one fiber tab 30 min before evry meal.
Does that really work?
Worked for me.
Being thin is nothing more than eating less. what's the big deal?
When does ur bk come out?
What a hoot! All I know is that ever since Mary Hogan interviewed me, I haven't stopped eating. Stuff like red meat and lots of it. Mary Hogan is making me fat like even my husband can't (he of the 'what do you want for dinner?' at lunch school of the food obsessed). Can one learn anorexia?
We love your new puppy. We can't wait to see more pictures as she grows up. We love all of your books and stories. Mary Hogan Rocks!
it's not Thanksgiving dinner that's the problem...it's the leftovers.
When the temp drops, I feel like bundling up in a big coat and eating cinnamon buns. who will know?
hi mary! i've begun to live thinly, too. you're right...it's hard! but i feel my body and mind changing. what do you do whenyou feel bored with thin food?
i eat out once a week
Try cooking something spectacular.
doesn't "fat food' get boring,, too?
Anybody know why I don't gain weight when I travel, though I eat TONS?
I live in Nebraska. We have lots of fat farmers here.
There are no simple answers...only stupid questions.
Mary, i hear you luv diners.
Anybody see the movie, Nine? Even Judy Dench is made to look thin in her dance number. What give?
ALL actresses are thin or made to look thin. It's a vast, media conspiracy.
I'm not fat...but i feel fat.
LOL. How do you thin a fat head?
I can't wait!! Fat heads around the world need to know!!!!
i'm partial to tiny spoonfulls of peanut butter

Quite simply a MUST eat...at least once. Don't forget the fries.
Used to LOVE the holidays...mostly because diets start on Jan. 1. There's some kind of law, isn't there? No diet can start at the end of year. Now, I'm feeling love/hate. It's SO much easier to live thinly when you don't go to parties every weekend.
I've tried Alli before. It works if you keep your fat level VERY low. Otherwise, yeah, you'll need to ask Santa for new undies.
Two of the lucky ones. Can I please have your parents??
Wow. Thanks, Mom.
Funny posts about the tablecloth. Wish I thought of that.
I drink those flavored fiber packets in water every day. Definitely gives a much-needed sense of fullness. Truly, I'm always starving.
Clearly, the thin person who posted has never heard the gentle whisper of a brownie in the middle of the night.
Book comes out after my year is over. Otherwise, I would have to change the name to "Half A Year of Living Thinly."
Let me know if you need to borrow any clothes. I have an entire Spanx wardrobe.
Thanks! I love Lucy, too.
Ah...truer words were never spoken. I'm hiding my leftover pie in the back of the freezer. Behind the frozen spinach.
You'll have to move to Florida.
Ah yes, Food Fatigue...I know it well. Perhaps that's how thin women stay thin. They get so bored with food, they rarely bother to open their mouths. Any ideas, anyone?
I've yet to hear about growing weary of Haagen Dazs. Though vanilla would bore me after a while. Like, maybe a year.
Someone suggested it's because you walk a lot on vacay, but I think it's something else. Do you travel outside U.S.? If you do, you're probably eating less processed food. Food that's far, far from the farm is, I suspect, at the root of American obesity.
Good point. Damn. I was hoping for a simple answer.
Ah....food for thought.
Who doesn't?
I think my diner obsession began in my youth...one day I came home from school and the "floor guy" was still cleaning the linoleum. (Clearly, these were the days well before Swiffers.) Mom took all of us (5 kids) out to Denny's while we waited for the floors to dry. For me, it was like a trip to DisneyLand. Such options! Such beautiful photos of food! No homework until we got home! Is it any wonder the mere smell of a greasy spoon sends me into ecstasy?
Yeah...I wondered about that, too. No offense, Judy, but were you retouched??? If not, I want you tailor.
hahahaha. One of favorite movies is Duplicity because 1.) I luv, luv, luv Clive Owens and 2.) Julia Roberts has a normal body in it. Both worth the Netflix fee.
Ah yes...the infamous fat head. I know it well. I'm in the process of trying to thin down my own head. Right now, it's much larger than my ass.
Stay tuned. I'll let you know.
Like anything else...the secret is worth the wait. In the meantime, have a cheese stick. They work wonders for me.
Is there such a thing as a tiny spoonful of peanut butter????
