My Superpowers are the ability to gain weight just looking at food, and finding a good parking space anywhere. I'd like to trade the first for something else!

We share a metabolic rate. Sadly the true gift of miserly metabolic burn gift, noted by one of my doctors, is being well adapted to survive in a ice age. I say sadly as the planet appears to be headed in another direction. Fortunately the gift of your writing as I savor my black coffee has greatly eased my morning.

Will I be kicked off the subscription list if I say I like stevia? Seriously, though, I relate to so much of this. Probably explains why I've avoided all the apps and never gone too far into any of the movements; I note a helpful tip or two and move on.

And Star Anise Chai...yum! I love a good Chai tea, hot days and cold days, with a hint of coconut milk! Today is Sencha green tea, but there's always room for Chai. Raising my mug in a salute!

That tickled all my funny fat cells. I lost at least half a pound laughing, doing my wind-down-happy-sighs, and then laughing again. Thank you!

Two members of weight watchers discussing their last meeting and what they ate that day. Nothing more excruciating. Leave the area immediately before you become homicidal.

Cracking up, and it is all a sad! I joined WW again, lost 8 but finding them again too!

You have to check out ‘ intuitive eating’ movement. ‘ no weighing in’ culture etc. It has it own crazies and really all wrapped up with can eat anything, well no ‘eat healthy and exercise’ .... hmmmm... sound me familiar! ;-)

5 pounds a gallon? Must be skim.

Does leaded gasoline weigh more than unleaded?

Hahaha, I love this post! It so accurately describes my journey too. Nice to know I'm not alone in this mf***ing food nightmare. Thanks for that.
