It’s only reasonable to conclude that if two different therapists independently give you the same advice, maybe you ought to try it. Well, the reasonableness of a proposition doesn’t always convince me; if I believe I’m right, I’m quite capable of telling the world, all seven billion of you, that you’re wrong. But in this case, I’m willing to be persuaded. This blog is the result.

   This blog will be the journal of a foodie, an amateur gourmet cook, and a writer who is in the long process leading up to bariatric surgery. This is not quite the beginning; I will bring you up to speed in between reports of triumphs and failures, recipes, and whatever insights I may have.

   Right now, however, I have to dash off for therapy. If you’re concluding that this quickie, lame excuse for a beginning is a half assed attempt to keep a promise made at the last therapy session to get started, well, you’re quite perceptive. But hey- lame it may be, but a start it is, so I haven’t failed yet. Stay tuned to see if I keep it up!
