Update of the fat lady -25 lbs gone

The last two days I was moping around. I am tired of being fat; I feel like a stranded whale. Every time I look in the mirror, I wonder if I am fooling myself.

Today in the morning I stepped on the scale and smiled. 25 lbs are gone, I am under 250. The pity party is over; the setbacks are forgotten. I am loosing weight, after so many years of gaining.

I am still mowing the yard, and I walk around outside a lot and climb up and down the stairs to get my stamina back. I sweat so much; I leave puddles everywhere I go. Summer is not the time for obese people, but every time I sweat, I know it's the right thing to do.

To all of you, who are older and as big as I am...do not talk yourself out of trying. Don't give up.

If I can do it...so can you.

YIPPIE YEAHHHH,
