Well I got on the dreaded scale this morning which I had been avoiding for way too long. The result was 200# (yes you read that right). This means I have 50# to lose. It was disappointing but not really surprising.
I did really good with my eating today. Which is good considering we thought that Andrew had broken his forearm at tumbling class. I took him to urgent care and it turned out to be only a sprain.
I did read a really great article in the new edition of Self magazine. It was about how we identify our weight with that of our mother's weight issues and how food played a role in our childhoods. I really related to this article. She wrote this at the end of it "Thinness isn't that same thing as happiness and solace isn't the same as food"

Losing the weight and getting in better shape is important not only to you, but to the rest of us for health reasons - we want you around for a long, long time. It is difficult and you know that.
