Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is. ~Author Unknown
When was the last time you had to pull off a last minute project? (For many of us, it was about five minutes ago, right Girlfriend?) Sometimes those down-to-the-wire efforts yield surprisingly wonderful results. At other times, the cookie crumbles when we don’t quite get it right.
The Faux Diet Queen had one of those last minute gotta-do-it events and–not surprisingly–it did not go as smoothly as she might have hoped. Also not surprisingly, she found herself laughing at the whole thing. We hope you’ll laugh along.
The Faux Diet Queen (or as we affectionately call her, FDQ) has agreed to share her latest (and last) weight loss journey with us as a regular feature at Girlfriendology. We hope you’ll join us to cheer her on, nudge her back on track when she strays, and generally giggle along.
First of all, I should clarify. This isn’t really a “how-to.” It’s actually more of a “how not to.” Because there were some very clear Read More »

What do girlfriends talk about? Everything, of course. But some of the most frequent subjects are shoes, romance, chocolate, and weight loss. (Just ask the Faux Diet Queen.)
Guest blogger Jaki Sinclair shares the amazing changes she made in her life — and how her girlfriends helped her every step of the way.
Weight loss is an often talked about topic with our girlfriends. I know my friends and I discuss it a lot. I’ve always struggled with my weight. I’ve been overweight since Read More »

I am Ashamed of Myself | Confession and Resolve from the Faux Diet Queen
January 27, 2012 – 4:30 pm
None of us are perfect. And we all have days when we are less perfect than usual. Often we can ignore that in ourselves, but sometimes we have to stare reality in the face and ‘fess up to the things we’re not so proud of.
This week, the Faux Diet Queen stares into her (somewhat twisted) reality and shares some of what she sees in the mirror.
The Faux Diet Queen (or as we affectionately call her, FDQ) has agreed to share her latest (and last) weight loss journey with us as a regular feature at Girlfriendology. We hope you’ll join us to cheer her on, nudge her back on track when she strays, and generally giggle along.
I’m ashamed of myself.
Not just because I ate all the pasta at dinner tonight before the kids could get seconds, although that probably wasn’t one of my shining moments. And not because I Read More »

Food Beliefs I Need to Ditch—Part II | More Baggage from the Faux Diet Queen
January 20, 2012 – 4:47 pm
The Faux Diet Queen (or as we affectionately call her, FDQ) has agreed to share her latest (and last) weight loss journey with us as a regular feature at Girlfriendology. We hope you’ll join us to cheer her on, nudge her back on track when she strays, and generally giggle along.
This week the FDQ is trying (once again) to be more realistic about how she thinks about food. Clearly, this is not something that can be accomplished in one week!
I have a closet full of clothes. I have clothes in pretty much every style that has come and gone over the last umpteen years, in every size ever manufactured on any continent, and in colors that range from “fab” to “should never, ever see Read More »

I Hate the Scale and the Scale Hates Me | From the Faux Diet Queen
December 9, 2011 – 9:15 am
How do you feel about the scale? Some of us ignore it completely. Some of us let our mood for the entire day be dictated by the numbers.
The Faux Diet Queen (or as we affectionately call her, FDQ) has agreed to share her latest (and last) weight loss journey with us as a regular feature at Girlfriendology. We hope you’ll join us to cheer her on, nudge her back on track when she strays, and generally giggle along. Here’s the FDQ’s relationship with her bathroom scale:
From the Faux Diet Queen:
The first thing dieticians and weight loss experts tell you to do is only weigh yourself once a week. While this may be good advice, it is about as practical as saying “Only breathe clean oxygen molecules” or “Only drive where there are safe drivers.”
