She jumped in my lap the other day and I *sniff Sniff* what IS that? *Sniff* - ah-h-h she smelled just like a French Fry. That kind of frightened me a bit.
As I start this blog I am fat. There are a lot of people who are heavy and fine with it. More power to them. But that is not me. When I was young I was chubby. There was a boy in 7th grade who pointed to my backside one day in class when I happened to be bending over and said "bigger than the whole state of Alaska." His name was Ken Cooper. He was an ass. But I never forgot it. Over that summer I grew a couple of inches and lost some weight and in 8th grade I looked a lot different. I was never confident in myself but at least I didn't have the chubby label to combat anymore. And I liked it. Through high school and after - through the first years of my marriage my weight was acceptable to me. Not perfect, but I never expected perfect. I gained tons of weight with both of my kids, but I lost most of the weight after each of them - very slowly after the 2nd but it came off. Fast forward through divorce and job changes, single motherhood and difficult times and I found myself here. 70 or so pounds overweight, absolutely sedentary, and sick at heart over what I have allowed to happen. This is my journey to work through losing weight. Physically, intellectually, and emotionally. I have no idea how I am going to do it.
