Losing weight

[Rachel Bray]

I'm CONSTANTLY on a diet.  But just recently I've added 
aerobics.  After my divorce I gained almost 75 pounds.  I'm 
now in the mindset to GET IT OFF and START LIFE OVER.  It's 
taken me many years to get to this mindset but I'm thankful 
I'm finally here.

The weight hasn't come off easily.  As a matter of fact, 
I've only lost 11 pounds in three months.  I even looked 
into having one of the operations done but, to my great 
surprise, I was told I didn't weigh enough.  Never in my 
life have I been TOO THIN for something.  I almost laughed 
and said "Fine, I'll go gain 50 more pounds.  Be back 
later." (a fine Homer Simpson moment if ever there was 
one).  But, instead, I've opted for exercise and cutting 
back on my bad foods. (I mentioned earlier that I have an 
ice cream fetish.....VERY hard to cut back on that one.)

I feel so alone, though.  I hang around very slim people 
with beautiful figures and beautiful significant others.  
It makes me depressed at times.  I used to be a knock-out.  
Now I'm just a Schmoo with split ends and dry skin.  :-)

Congrats on your weight loss!  It's truly something to be 
immensely proud of.

LORD OF THE SNITCH
Three men form the chaser-squad under the sky 
Seven are the teammates on their brooms of wood
Two are Bludger balls charmed to fly
One is the dork Ref all on his own
On the field of Quidditch where the Quaffles lie.
One Snitch flits over all, one grab will win it
One game may take three months, or may take but a minute
On the field of Quidditch where the Quaffles lie.
