I hope blogging isn't as hard as picking the title

I was paralyzed when it asked me to name this blog. Already?! How could I possibly know what to call it  so soon? I wanted something smart and laugh-out loud "funny cause it's true." Yeah, good luck with that. Then this title popped into my head. It is a precise summation of my uniquely embarrassing story. Like that six word life-story website.
Yeah, Tell the truth for once! Let it All Hang Out. Accountability. Go for it!
I regretted it instantly. As soon as I finished typing, my mind rallied:
15 Minutes of Thin
The Prodigal Dieter Returns
Heather eats less and exercises more
Heather-wise and pound foolish
Yo-Yo diethood
A fat chick sitting around, writing 'bout herself

But now that I've slept on it, I do like the title. It reflects me perfectly.
Proud and regretful
Ridiculously optimistic
Neurotically compartmentalized self confidence that comes from having already won this battle once, however briefly.
A self-deprecating zinger, because a sarcastic laugh is the only way I can bear to tell the truth, esp. about myself.

My sentiments exactly! I thought to myself, "Oh God, what did I get myself into?". LOL
