text: Born For Geekdom: Sick Geek = Future Health Nut
  I've been pretty lucky with illness this year. Considering all my chronic health problems, I always expect to be sick for the entire winter but every year seem to scrape by unscathed.I can share your desire for good health however. Last year I managed to lose 50 pounds without even trying that hard, and effectively threw all that away and stuffed my face for the last three months straight. This year I am resolving to lose weight again, but not putting a number goal on myself, because I feel that that is going to doom me to feel like a failure for all of 2009.PS: You should check out a book called "The Sonoma Diet". It's not some trendy lose weight quick thing -- it teaches you about food and how to make lifelong changes to the way you eat. The only bad thing is it requires a lot of time spent cooking...no prepared meals.
