Queer as Folk and body image

So, Queer as folk is an interesting show, but I have certain issues with it overall. Honestly, watching it makes me feel woefully inadequate and unattractive. As I've had body image issues in the past, I'm not sure how well I will deal with the series overall.

But in other body image news, my diet is working, albeit somewhat slowly. I need to remember that this requires diligence and patience, but it works.
Starting weight: 195
Current weight: 184
Target Weight: 165
The first third is the easy third. If I can do 2 pounds a week, which I can do with exercise, then it's 10 weeks, which means April. Longer than I had hoped, but reasonable.

What type of diet and where are you working out?

Oh, and way to go on the weight loss!

I am doing a variation on the Atkins diet (being a vegetarian it requires some adaptation), and my exercise is mostly informal, walking back and forth to work(2nd and Washington to 10th and Jordan) everyday, and basic home exercises(sit-ups and push-ups)

Wow. I would have imagined that modifying Atkins to vegetarian would have been difficult.

I'm trying to be more religious about exercise and I have been going to the SRSC and the HPER. Wish I did it more though. :(

We're getting a book on veggie low carb. Or we will be sometime in the next few weeks, after I order it (which will happen next Thursday or thereabouts).
