Yea--.8 again! I like it! I'm hoping the tomato and orange embargo pays off. I'm so happy that I'll be taking my last shot in three weeks. Shivving myself with a harpoon every day is less than enjoyable. It's worth it, though. I've lost 30 pounds now. Can I get a "woo hoo"?!
Today we were watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (a must see if you're concerned about nutrition). He was at a local high school, getting some high school kids to join him for cooking lessons and healthful activism with their peers. One of the girls who joined said she lost her dad when she was 13 due to complications of obesity. Another girl who was very overweight joined because she felt like it was her last chance to be healthy. I cried over both of these kids' stories.
It totally fed my fire to get healthy for Anna. Bad metabloism or not, I've got to get a lot of this weight off. I don't want Anna to be that girl. I'm that girl, who lost a parent because she loved cigarettes more. I won't love sugar more than Anna. And like that overweight girl, I feel like this is my last chance to get healthy.
So I'll take the bayonet in the leg and live with dry skin and virtually no food for awhile to get this fat gone. And I'm going to keep it off this time. Whatever it takes. I love my family too much to do less.
