Weekly update

The weigh-in this week was ok.  I lost the smidge that I'd gained last week.  That was fine.  As much as I'd love to lose huge amounts of weight every week, the reality is - that it won't happen.  I didn't put the weight on overnight and it's not going to come off overnight.

I don't think I'll ever be a size 2 and I'm really ok with that.  One of the reasons I want this fight is to be healthy.  I believe my healthy is nowhere near a size 2.  I also want to be strong.  I want to live for a long time and to do that, I need to take care of this body.  It's the only one I'm going to get.  In general, I am pretty healthy.  I've never spent a night in the hospital (except when I was born.)  I don't have diabetes - and I want to do what I can to make sure I don't ever have it.  (I know that Type 1 Diabetes is a completely different thing and had nothing to do with diet and exercise.)

I turned 44 last month and I still feel like I'm in my 20's.  And I want to keep feeling that way.  I want to keep enjoying life and it will be so much easier to do that if I drop some of this weight.
