Losses
I lost 11 pounds. I'm so excited, but I have 40 to go. Still, it's a start. In fact, I've decided to focus on my health. I told my dad that over the phone. I won't be around anymore, I told him. Now that you're on your feet and your doctor has deemed you competent, I know that I can walk away and know you're okay.
Dad is surprised, but it's something that has been 58 years in the making. So, I've lost pounds and my dad, but that's life. As for me, I've got plans. First, I joined one of those clothes rental things. I don't want to fill my closet with clothes in my current size, so this seems like a good option. To be honest, at first I was put off by the idea of wearing previously worn clothing. It was a no-no in my family. Mom would rather buy cheap than to go to goodwill. But this is a different century. People are renting everything, so I'm going to do it too. This will allow me to get out and have fun. I already have my first event planned. Plus, I'm going back to church. I've been out far to long. Three months from now I plan to be off medication and slim.
Back to my dad. It is hard leaving him. I love him and worry about him. He is old, weak and alone. It's so sad because I really tried. But I was the only one trying.

Right now you have to take care of yourself. Be kind to yourself. You need the attention right now, so take the time to do it. Hugs.
Congratulations on taking steps for YOU! Since my husband passed away 10 months ago, I have struggled with weight loss. I have not been eating right, too many lunches out, too many lattes. It is so hard to get my head wrapped around eating right. I applaud you. Any advice to pass along? Linda
