Week 15, Day 1

I hit 226 pounds today. Thank you to all who have been offering support through these very difficult times. Though the blog postings have been only intermittent, you have still been amazing in your support and in helping me through this. Thank goodness for Facebook, Hotmail, and cellphones -- and for the loving kindness of friends. I am forever grateful.

Food has been a forced issue this last week, only a few bites of a sandwich once in awhile, simply enough to hold me while I pop down a few vitamins. I have no appetite and can't seem to stand the thought of it. These past couple of days intestinal distress has quickly removed whatever calories I've taken in. Definitely not the way I intended to lose weight. But I guess if it gets me where I need to be, it's not all bad. Maybe it will get me there before it's too late. It sure would be nice if I make it to slim and healthy in time for Dad to be proud of me.

Please continue to pray for him.

Today's Tip:
Don't put off your weight loss. There are people who want to see you healthy NOW, and they may not be here later to see it if you delay. Trust me, you'll regret it deeply.
