I'm going through some terrible financial times with a book deadline (>i, a memoir about dating in my 50s) in ten weeks. Because the only things anyone really wants to know about me are how much I weigh, what I'm eating and how my dog is behaving, I have decided to start a weekly newsletter, the f chronicles.

Quotes by Frances Kuffel (?)

“Earlier that spring, in an Amazon discussion of the comments women get for being fat or losing weight, Lindsay observed that “Nobody who gets thin gets rid of their problems, they just trade them in.” The only part she got wrong is that we trade in a few problems (like airplane seats), keep the oldest ones (why we got fat, how being fat has shaped our psyches), and receive a handful of new ones in return.”
― Frances Kuffel, Eating Ice Cream with My Dog

“A grin might have split me down the middle and my questions might come spilling out. Am I pretty? How much bigger am I than you? Do you love me—still love me, or love me more for having done this? Did you love me before? Was it possible to love me when I was fat? What do you love now? Am I gonna be OK—be a person, be Frances? Will I figure this out? How? What have I done?”
