Okay, don't snicker, its not those 3 inches...
I put on a jacket that I wore on a trip 4 years ago and it would not close...by 3 inches... The fact, the reality is that I am 3 inches BIGGER around my middle than I was 4 years ago. Pounds? maybe 15, but that 3 inches, that is the fact.
Those blue jeans I enjoyed being able to pull down without unbuttoning as a symbol of my weightloss and now these are "fitted" jeans. No messing, no question, no uncertainty, no, excuse, I am sliding back to where I was for 60 years, overweight, unhealthy and self conscious.
3 inches between me and being a "rock star." 3 inches between me and ME. 3 inches might as well be the Grand Canyon. I need to bridge this gap, to shoot this gap to cross over this gap, to stitch this together as I stitch my life together.
We can do this. I can do this.
I need help... but don't we all?
8 years ago I started my real weight loss journey. Along the way I have gathered lessons from this hard fought success. I want to share this with others who have a long journey (more than 30 pounds). I want to share this with those of you who have started with a Fast, a medically supervised Fast. This is for both men and for women. Hang in there, it is worth it.
Welcome
Don't be afraid to succeed at weight loss. If you have done a fast you have learned some essential truths that this site wants to reinforce. If you are doing it the slower way, there are still lessons you can take from my journey. It is a life long mindfulness, today is your first day.
