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 »

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 »

January 13, 2012 – 10:25 am
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.
At the start of the new year, we thought it would be a good idea to visit with the Faux Diet Queen and see what was on her mind for 2012. So we sent our intern, let’s call her Leslie, out to meet and interview the ever-inventive FDQ. This may not have been the world’s best idea since 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.

From the Faux Diet Queen:

November 20, 2011 – 3:32 pm
Food Cravings, Emotional Eating, using Food to deal with stress … they’re something we talk about with our friends (because we can be totally open and with our friends).
