FAT MAN, THIN MAN, FATTER MAN...GOOD GRIEF!! I have been "overweight" or whatever other descriptive you care to use to call me fat, most all of my life with occasional spurts of weight loss. I've been up and down the scale several times, (mostly up) and have gained and lost over 300+ pounds in my life. However, I've begun to see myself as more than just a "fat" person...it gets easier to take on a different outlook when one doesn't fight for every breath, or have joints scream in pain every time you move.

A HOMETOWN REVEAL

My friends from the band "For Today"
I have some friends who are in a band. They’ve been touring for several months and came off tour and were home the past couple of weeks.

Their third album will be released nationally on Tuesday and I’m really proud of them! I went to their “hometown C.D. reveal concert" last Friday night. They hadn’t seen me for awhile, and they were very congratulatory and complimentary of my weight loss so far.  I guess it was my own little "reveal". 

It was interesting to see the looks on their faces when I stepped into the green room before the concert….the last they knew I was really overweight and now I was challenging their memory of me by appearing “suddenly” much lighter. It was one of life’s moments to savor. I am and I will.
