3 Hows for today

1. Just got my "holiday gift guide" email from TOR Publishing. Among the (excellent) books they're suggesting as gifts is this POS, _A Taste of Gold and Iron_ which I reviewed here. How was this book even published by TOR and worse, constantly promoted? It's freaking awful.

2. I've been dieting seriously for over 6 weeks now. None of my clothes is even the slightest bit looser, so I started weighing myself. Flat or up seems to be the trend over the past 10 days. How can I eat 800-1000 calories a day (ok, plus maybe an extra 100 for the calories in the skim milk I have in my tea) and not lose weight? Isn't that supposed to be fucking impossible according to thermodynamics? Ah well. We're back to a calorie isn't a calorie isn't a calorie, and I'm feeling like crap. I don't see how I can cut any more food, at this point in my life, but it looks like I'm going to have to. Dropping to 600 calories a day will be hard. I did it in my 20s, I'm not sure I still can. Ah well. I'll start with skipping breakfast, at least until I've lost the pound I've gained this week. I just--

3. There is a pastry chef on Instagram that I detest. For some reason, he gives me the heebie-jeebies, and sets my teeth on edge. How does he keep appearing on my feed? Yeah, I get that multiple account re-post his reels, but I block them as soon as I see them. How many pastry-based re-posting account are there?
