I just got back from having my eyebrows done (they are so pretty!)  and the girl who does them for me always gives out a quote for the day...  I  liked this one so much I thought I would share it with all of you... Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one identity, and the end of safety.  It is only when one is able, without bitterness or self pity, to surrender a dream one has long cherished, or a privilege one has long posessed, that one has set oneself free for higher dreams, for greater privileges. ~ James Baldwin My fat gives me identity for sure, having never been thin there is safety in what I know.  I am surrendering my dream of being able to eat without limits and live.   How about you?

 (edited to correct a typo)

What I've eaten is here for the world to see
336.1 (8-1-07)/319.0 (12-28-07)/200 (goal for 12-31-08)/160 (goal)
Next mini goal is 290 by 1-31-08

I gave up a couple feet of intestines and the ability to eat what I like in pursuit of better health...and I did it without bitterness or self pity...even though they're creeping back in... ;)

**** I stuck a rubberband at the top of my stomach and I'm not feeling changed.
