The Amazing Shrinking Mom

Oooh…I love this! I’ve just discovered a great weight loss blog, written by Melodee of Club Mom, The Amazing Shrinking Mom. We’re on the same mission, trying to find our old selves BK (Before Kids.)

I’m going to enjoy reading Melodee’s journey, and I’ve added her to my blogroll. She’s got a positive outlook, and I laughed out loud reading her post, How To Get Fat in 10 Easy Steps.

Here’s a taste (pun intended) of how funny she is:

#7 Bake brownies. I have the best recipe in the world, I kid you not. Always be sure to lick the batter, then cut them into gigantic squares. Only eat one! (Okay, eat the rest of the pan after the kids go to bed and the next day, when they say, “Where are the brownies?” say, “What brownies?” Look puzzled.)

Don’t like brownies? (Huh? Then we are no longer friends!) Make fantastic chocolate chip cookies to cheer up or celebrate with “the kids.” (Kids optional.) Then eat the dough and a handful of cookies, too. Did you know cookie dough and broken cookies don’t count in your overall caloric count? (You heard it here first.)

Boy, is she speaking my language. I’ve always thought calories don’t count if nobody sees you eating.
