Hello All
Well, perhaps by all I mean to say, "Hello Roseann." I believe I am the only one who is not only writing this, but could be the only one who is reading this as well. That's OK, I was never promised to have thousands of readers, dying for my very next word, wondering and waiting on the edge of their seats, when the next entry would be posted..."the writing is just so...delicious!" Nah, nobody promised that in any way, shape or form.
I think the issue becomes then, if no one is reading...shall I keep writing? Hmmm...question of the ages....sort of the same thing as if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears, was there a noise made by the falling tree? If no one ever reads my words of wisdom, is this a waste of my time? Not really the same, but hopefully you get the drift...I will continue to write until such time that I am pretty darn sure I have nothing left of substance to say, you can hold your breath, it could be any minute now.
Perhaps a quick summation since last I blogged,(just in case someone aside from...well me is reading): Let's see, well I went back on a protein drink replacement diet for a month or so. I had been picking up weight in a steady and slow pace and had gained around 15 pounds before I finally decided it was time to put the brakes on. As mentioned, I've done this up and down weight deal for my entire life, but in the last seventeen years or so, had come to a place where I would gain not more than twenty before I would lose the weight. To many, a twenty pound gain may sound like a ton of weight...but not for someone such as myself who had an average of seventy five pounds added at one time...yeah, twenty is "chump change."
I have never wanted to be the poster child for former fatties but that seems to be my lot in life. I have current overweight friends and colleagues who know of my larger than life past, who ask me LOTS of questions about how I did it, how I keep it off, and on and on....I am VERY happy to help these folks because I truly do know what it is like to walk in their shoes. I know the heart break of being the biggest kid in the class, heck in the whole school, it sucks. I know what it's like to be made fun of, to hear the snickers of strangers, to see out of the corner of my eye, people pointing at me and laughing to their friends as some rude comment is made at my expense. Yup, I've been there, and done that. I never will be that person again, so I guess I'm happy to be a former fatty and not a current one. It is not a bad club to belong to! I've lost the 15 or so pounds I put on over the last few months and now am back in the gym, every other day, working out. I need a new exercise program to get my muscles working in other ways.
