    ok, wow. that's amazing. i hope i get to lose an automobile tire soon!

    so far i've between a human head and chemical additives an american consumes each year. with any luck i'll be firm on the chemical additives by this wed! i can NOT wait! my first 10 pounds...i'm so excited.

    as far as a goal. i didn't really have one. i have a hard time getting past 195 lbs...psychologically speaking that is. losing the weight isn't the problem for me. once i put my mind to it i'll lose the weight. for some reason i get a little too much attention and i freak out. then i sabotage myself and drop the diet altogether.

    not this time. this time my goal is to lose an "average fashion model (and she's 5"11)". i've never set a goal like that for myself. never ever. i hope i didn't set the bar too high. i wouldn't have thought about it if it hadn't been for this post so thank you for making me think about it.

    wish me luck!

    I am somewhere between a Bald Eagle and 10 dozen large eggs.

    Honestly, that's not a sentence I ever imagined I would be typing.
