Link-Worthy

I haven't found anything terribly interesting in the weight-loss realm this week, have you? Instead I will link a very funny journal, because it mentions donuts and it may entertain you today, as it has entertained me. My standards (which, to recap, are "mentions donuts") have apparently dropped.

"I’ve been trying to figure out why parenting makes people get all chubbed out. Sure, I could say that people eat more when under stress, and the need to spend all one’s time parenting prevents a solid exercise regimen, but I think that this explanation is a bit too glib and obvious. Nothing so clearly true can be true. If we have learned anything from Science, it is that."

From The Story About the Toddler.

As a summertime nanny, I think this analysis may be overly optimistic, though maybe it's just because I'm dealing with _other people's_ children. I gained weight in the double digits, and it was because I have this unproven idea that one more cookie will be what it takes to drown out the terrible (mommy left, I don't like grilled cheese, mommy's still not back, Barney went away, the carpet is BLUE! variety) screaming. And maybe drown the Veggie Tales theme song, which played in my head continuously for four months.
