Whoops! Forgot to publish this yesterday; probably because I was busy reading, then the gym, then reading, then went to bed @ 9:30pm!!
1:46pm Thursday
Home for a bit before my dentist appointment; got the first of my "fat" books in the mail! This one is called "Half-Assed: A Weight Loss Memoir" by Jennette Fulda. Started reading it and all I can say is "Wow!" She was 372 pounds when she finally decided to do something about her weight! Over the course of two years, she lost 200 pounds!!! Just goes to show that it's all perspective! She would think I'm "skinny" at 228 pounds! But of course, it's not all perspective; being over-weight or obese is not just about the visual. Like Jennette said " Before this attack (gall bladder!) my main motivation to be thin was to be drop-dead sexy and wear a pair of calf-high leather boots that actually fit around my calves. But as I entered my twenties-or the three hundreds, depending on what I was measuring- I realized the sexiest thing was not being dead." Good point, Jennette!
Her experience and gradual change of mindset and lifestyle reminds me of my weight loss journey of two years ago. I can relate on so many levels. Okay. About to head out now. Will write more later and post then. TaTa! :)
