The Fatty Chronicles

Well so far, things are getting better. Except for this stupid cold I have. Although, I don't know if it's really a cold since all I have is extreme facial congestion. Anywho... I think my "bad" streak has run it's course and the horizon is in view again. I know it sounds weird, but I finished a novel today and I suddenly feel invigorated in other areas. I haven't felt this way for a long time, and I think it has something to do with having completed something (the novel). Isn't that weird?

Today's quote is:

"You never understand a person until you consider things from his point of view." - Harper Lee, Writer

As I pondered how this particular quote applied to my quest, I came up with this thought:

*I found an article in the July 2006 issue of Prevention Magazine about a woman who had shed 218 lbs. with the support of her husband. The man didn't just say nice things to her, he helped her make the change. He gave her what she actually needed, not what he wanted to give or thought she needed, for her to succeed. I think it takes real insight to have some semblance of what a person is going through. You may not struggle with your weight, maybe your addiction is to something else, and knowing how hard it is for you to cope with your demons can give you inspiration on how to help someone else.

That's all for today, kids!
