I opened this blog, and never posted.  It is supposed to be the progression from overweight to all svelte and what not.  However, I have been so busy that I haven't been able to work on it the way I want to.

But here we are.  This is me. Last May.  Thinking I was all cute and whatever.  NOT!  This candid shot ended up in the gift shop in the queue of pictures scrolling on the screen.  I was not impressed.  I laughed and smiled, but inside I was horrified.  That 300lb person was unacceptable. I weighed 305 pregnant with my daughter in my ninth month - SEVEN YEARS AGO.  What the hell was my excuse now?  None.

The time came to take a handle on myself and check this mess.  My daughter was expressing growing concern over my stomach's size and my son was embarrassed when his friends pointed out his fat mother.
