On the Lighter Side

Being a woman of great courage, I weighed in today. I am proud and happy to report I have moved into a new denomination of "ty's". You know, twen-ty's, thir-ty's, for-ty's..." But I am not saying which one.

Before you break out in cheers and wild applause, it is only by half a pound. But it is always encouraging, and it seems that once I break that denomination barrier, the next few pounds come off pretty easily before I get stuck again. (Wonder if there is a sermon illustration in that?)

I suppose some people would say that concerning myself about weight loss when I have breast cancer is nonsense. But why not? If I can keep focus now, it will mean I am managing my habit of eating in response to stress. Then when all this is over, I will be cancer free AND "X" amount of pounds-free. I will be in a good place. One can hope!
