Sitting on 327 pounds .....

Yup ... I was sitting on 327 pounds ... my highest recorded weight at the cardiologist's office ... when I was being fitted for a Holter Monitor ,,,  ... that was 6 years and almost 3 months ago ... 

This is my empowerment collage this day ... as I entered it into my digital empowerment journal "A Picture A Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away" a goofy tool that I made up that is working for me ...

Sitting at the desk at 327 pounds YESTERDAY (over 6 years ago) versus TODAY (this day)....

my week ending in pictures and my today ... comparison collage...

of course I groomed me and my dolly... an awesome gift from my son ... he saw her months ago... her hairstyle then (which I have since changed over and over) reminded him of me ... he did not mind being poked and made fun of jokingly by his friends as he trekked across the city with the doll that he bought for his mom .... and just for that she is special .... and as I groom me I groom my special dolly ... because my son gave her to me ... I AM GOOFY LIKE THAT ...lol... I have to put her back up on her bench ... my dogs keep pulling her hair off ... I was afraid of them jumping up on the bench and dragging her down and she would  fall and break ... no thanks to Chip she already has a broken finger which I will be replacing it myself ...

my doggies were also in my morning pic ... and my husband my photographer...

I swam all weekend long ... and slept ... and played with my doggies and my ferrets... I spent awesome quality time with my family ... friends visited ... I held all those I love close and I let them know it ... I prayed for Boston ...for the victims ...for the families ... as I swam I cried and I cried and I tried so hard to let go of my sister and I can't .... I am missing her horribly today too ... it has been two months since her death ... and I miss her.... she was always there and I will keep her close in my heart for-ever...
