I’m not as into being super detailed with the calorie counting so I think the psychological aspect of tricking myself might be a good start.

Dang — before you know it someones going to figure out how to put the Google 15 Wdiget in their blogging sidebar and there will be a whole ton of dieters supporting each other.

The Google 15 widget is a good / simple weight to track weight.

Instead of using his spreadsheet though, I ended up signing up with calorieking.com (he mentions it in his blog). I started counting calories last June for about 4 months and lost 15 pounds. I’ve since slacked off. I haven’t lost any more weight, but I haven’t gained anymore either.

The approach is interesting. You basically have to train yourself to eat until you are satisfied but not full. You also learn to take a little more time before deciding to go for seconds. I found that if I eat and then take a break rather than mindlessly shoveling more food into my gullet, I do feel satisified and don’t really need more food. The first month is hard though. You go from your normal ginormo portions to more reasonalbe, smaller portions. But after you’ve reaclimated your body, you’ll find that when you go out to restaurants and stuff you’ll often just eat half of what they give you and save the other half to take home.

Either way, I heartily endorse Jeremey’s diet series as well.

Good luck with your calorie counting Tamar. And Jase, if you need add’l advice about it, I can let you know what worked for me.

I don’t think I’ll blog about it though…!

You know you’re a fatblogger when you consider losing weight through “filters” i.e. eating only subway sandwchiches, only liquids, only food you can suck through a straw.

You know you’re a fatblogger when you try to figure out a diet that doesn’t eliminate the geek standbys of pizza, beer, and soda.

I was thinking about this a bit more: looks like Kevin Smith (again, thanks to J. Calacanis) is on a diet.

But I think the ultimate geek dude who went from serious poundage to slim is Peter Jackson.

Dave, I forgot about all those “extra” events. I remember one VP would always be bringing in the Krispy Kremes and of course I had to eat one. Freaking hard to resist!

I’ve been thinking of writing a fatblogging how-to and an anti-fatblogging how-to based on my previous experience.

So many ideas, so little time.

Let’s do a “You Know You’re a Fatblogger When…” post!

You know you’re a fatblogger when you buy a Nintendo Wii for exercise.

You know you’re a fatblogger when you install the “One Click Pizza Delivery” plugin for WordPress.
