One of the things I've always wondered was whether or not the American diet was more likely to make you fat than the Thai diet. In Thailand it is far more common to eat smaller portions more frequently during the day instead of sitting down to a huge meal. Food is readily available at small restaurants and street vendors and is both high quality and inexpensive. Portions are sized such that you can order 1-2 items.

Currently I'm a not so svelte 186 lbs. (none of it muscle). My goal is to get to 172. So in the grand tradition of blogging about way too personal stuff (e.g. starryeyes posting about an herbal tea laxative), I've decided to post my weight loss progress (or regression) for all those interested.
