216.4-->212.4-->209.8
After 2 years of slow weight gain after 2 years of slightly quicker weight loss, I seem to be back on the loss cycle. During a family Passover seder, a lovely (and loving) aunt who I see only about once or twice a year pulled me aside and asked me, "What happened to your diet? You seemed to be doing so well." I imagine if I was female or younger or less secure in my self, this would be a dagger in my heart, but I took it as sincere concern from an older generation who have different assumptions about weight loss and fat people. The conflict between our world views is pretty damn well summarized in this recent NY Times article.
“The key point is that you can be on TV, you can lose enormous amounts of weight, you can go on for six years, but you can’t get away from a basic biological reality,” said Dr. Schwartz, who was not involved in the study. “As long as you are below your initial weight, your body is going to try to get you back.”When I got to the bottom of the weight curve at the end of 2013, I started getting ravenous, and I thought of a truism taught to me by my parents and my aunt's generation: when you are hungry, eat. On the face of it, this is "common sense" but beware of any one or any politician trying to sell you something on the basis of "common sense" -- they are appealing to your baser ignorance instead of your higher urge to learn more about what is really happening.
The show’s doctor, Robert Huizenga, says he expected the contestants’ metabolic rates to fall just after the show, but was hoping for a smaller drop. He questioned, though, whether the measurements six years later were accurate. But maintaining weight loss is difficult, he said, which is why he tells contestants that they should exercise at least nine hours a week and monitor their diets to keep the weight off.
“Unfortunately, many contestants are unable to find or afford adequate ongoing support with exercise doctors, psychologists, sleep specialists, and trainers — and that’s something we all need to work hard to change,” he said in an email.
I was hungrier than usual, so I said eh, my body is telling me to eat, and we first and foremost must listen to our bodies. Eating disorders are seen as emotional and psychological problems that interfere with our abilities to feed ourselves in response to bodily signals. Well, my bodily signals have been literally, scientifically-proven and unilaterally hijacking my hormones to alter my behavior to regain as much weight as possible. It's not for a lack of willpower, or mindfulness, or moral upstanding, it's what we're genetically programmed to do based on cave-man times.
To put it succinctly, it's not my fault, but it is my responsibility. The usefulness of this blog has come to an end. Look at the list of topics to the right, I think I've said all I need on each one - the purpose was to educate and entertain myself with the act of writing, and it served that purpose well. It also served to keep myself accountable for my eating by posting my food diaries in public, and my need for that has lessened -- I have my shit together, I don't need the fear of having to say "I ate 2 boxes of twinkles last night before crying myself to sleep" in public to keep me eating healthy. I still have more to learn and clarify, but I think I'm going to do that in a less straight forward, more personal and emotional form in a writing project TBD. Maybe another blog, maybe not. Any suggestions?

This is not my first rodeo. Though this blog started at the beginning of '12 and ran through the first third of '16, there was:
- Snicklesnack (2012)
- Learning to Feed (2007-2012)
- Culinary School Confidential (2008-2010)
- Knishery NYC (2011-2013)
The most popular post from this blog: from 2012, with 611 views and twice the amount of the next-best viewed, an opening salvo on the Demon Sugar.
Before deciding to end this blog, my next entry was going to riff on this article, but after reading through all the material it linked to, my emotional response was: I can't. I just can't. So many lies and half-truths, so much "common sense" that is nonsense in practice. May the burning of this blog light my way.
Thanks for reading out there. Despite your silence, the page views speaks of a common human empathy that makes it worthwhile. Love on ya.
