Re: Happy New Year from Africa...and thoughts on food etc...

Marloe, it is so wonderful to wake up the morning of the New Year with a

message from you! Sounds to me like you've got it all together. I started

induction this morning at my fattest - 230 pounds. ( I plan 170 by

summer. I agree with choosing a weight at which we feel and look good -

forget the 'proper' weights. I plan to be 170 by summer. I feel and look

great at that weight - even though it's a ton more than I'm supposed to be

for my height. I can do it. You can do it.

It's funny how our goals can change. All my adult life I tried to be this

skinny thing - something that I never was growing up - something that I

never found. I did weigh 135 for about a day once. I would be thrilled to

weigh 150 again - I actually held onto that weight for a couple of years

once. But my biggest goal right now is that I would like to be able to wear

a 13/14. I don't care what the scale says at that point. I don't care if

some people think that's still fat. It would be a good place for me to be.

So that's my new years goal

And it was wonderful to wake up to Marloe's words. And to read of hopes and

dreams that we all begin this year with. The best of all is knowing that

together we can help prop each other up and reach them

love you all
