This is a little article about dieting methods through the ages (in Western Europe, anyway), starting in the 1500s. I thought this would be the best place to put it; some of it is pretty odd, but most of it is sadly recognizable.
I have been acting like actually a slug the last few days. Just sleeping and sitting on my ass, barely even leaving the house. And, of course, I am still way heavier than I'd like, and I suspect that I put on a little weight since mid-December, which blows. I'm not really sure what to do about it at this point; as long as I stay in the house, I'm surrounded by food, but I don't have all that many reasons to leave or places to go, and it's cold as all hell out. I walked over to a coffee shop to study Arabic two days ago--it was maybe a 15 minute walk each way?--and by the time I got back my face was so chapped that my regular moisturizer stung my skin.
Sometimes I think I should have joined the army, or something.
