Welcome and I'm Sorry

You found me!! I have a place where I take about my favorite subject ever, BOOKS!! But I needed a place to talk about my least favorite subject....my weight and the struggles it causes. It is a marathon and not a sprint but I fall down a lot (not shocking to anyone who knows me, I am a huge Klutz) and need a place to write and share. It is for me, to help me, but I hope it is for you too. Maybe you can understand because you have been there, or are there, or know and love (or hate) someone who is where I am, or you just want to point and laugh at the fat girl who maybe is fat or maybe isn't.

Come back often...or don't, I will be here writing, sometimes a lot, sometimes not so much. The only guarantees I make are that I will be real, I will overshare, and I will be honest.

Some stuff to know going forward:

• I have struggled with my weight my entire life. 
• A few years ago (in 2009) I started to make a real effort to lose weight. I was 283 pounds. I joined Weight Watchers and went down to 165 pounds.
• As of August 9th 2017 I weight 143 pounds. 
• It caused A LOT of extra skin and I will talk about this more in future posts. 
• I look in the mirror and I still feel like a Fatty McFatty Pants. I still feel like and see 283 pounds me. 
• I am the most clumsy person I know. 
• I don't sleep well or enough.
• I love to read!!
• I am very funny!!!
• I love deeply. 
• Wine is good. 
• Chocolate is better. 
• I battle with food and the scale daily. 
• I am so glad you are here. I hope you stick with me. 

So welcome! And I'm sorry. Why? Well because I can promise that sometimes the things I tell you won't be comfortable, nice, pretty, or happy. And I am sorry because I am not sorry about that.
