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.

MY BODY IS A HOUSE

My body is a house, I build for me,
Myself the architect shall be;
I cannot accept the stubborn fact
That I am fashioned by every act
Which I must determine with
my own will,
And there I live, for good or ill.

Hi Charlie, just updating myself on some of the blogs you have written recently and some earlier ones I hadn't seen. Thanks for sharing, honey. You never cease to amaze me and inspire me. I hope you will seriously consider publishing "Heavy? Thoughts...Lighter Living. Your life experience in the past and present and the gift you have that enables you to share it in such an honest way could help so many others. I know I am your sister and am maybe a little bit biased :)but, I think anyone who knows you would agree that you write dang good!!
If there is anything I might do to help you on the "grimy road" of weight loss and/or maintenance & excercise, let me know. I am proud of you beyond words and of course I love you more! :)
Your Sis, Julie xoxo
