have decided...

....that this weight is going to come off once and for all (yea right :) )
...i love dr b...there's no other place where you can lose so much weight so fast, 4llbs a week every week, and for all the skeptics about weight loss that's too fast, muscle loss, etc..etc...read up on the diet first...totally medically supervised and all that good stuff, but MY GOD...the first week is B-R-U-T-A-L...my stomach is constantly growling-whether i've just eaten or not-afterall 800-900 calories a day isn't much, but i guess my big fat stomach is busy shrinking...the first week is hard, but gets better after that from memory of the first time i went...the reason i'm choosing to lose lots more than just what i'm 'comfortable' with is because i'd like to leave myself a big buffer-not the usual 5llbs since that always come on at christmas and then i'm too uncomfortable which is why dr b is always on my radar in january...

grow old gracefully kinda gal

went for my first volunteer session sitting with a dying patient...she was 92 but was pretty much comatose so my two hours there didn't feel like i made a difference at all, although they do say that patients can still hear and feel you when you're there and they're comatose...who knows...i guess the real difference i made was for her daughter who couldn't be there with her...

later...
