The Valentine's Day Card that Started it All

The first of the Photoshopped spectaculars, created for my husband in homage of a poster he found in Cairo with a similar disregard for proportion or scale. That's us on the roof. But that's not our real house.

It's Not Fair!


Strombeek seems to be staying steady at close to fifteen pounds. The only thing this diet is accomplishing is pissing her off.

Third Time's a Charm. Or is it?









For the third Weigh in, Strombeek should come in approximately at 14 and 1/2 pounds. She can feel the pressure.

Weighing In

Strombeek bows down before the strange baby idol prior to the official weigh in. Please, she says, let me lose weight so I can eat kibble again.

Having a Treat Ball

For the first week of Strombeek's diet, I discontinued the use of the treat ball.

She is supposed to be restricted to 240 calories a day, but she had trouble getting that much wet food into her belly.

Then after the storming of both cardboard castles and burrowing her way into the kibble bag, I decided such determination was worthy of a reward.

1 feline greenie = 2 calories. I limit her to 10. She's got to exert at least that much hitting it around, right?
