Beginning this blog ratifies and strengthens my committment. I will get rid of . . . change that, I'm in the process of getting rid of the weight that I've regained since my great success at losing it. Sixty-five plus pounds lost, fifty-eight regained. And all along this massive regain, a struggle against the tide. After the first few pounds and after more than that and after way way more than that. I've been fighting all along. And I haven't given up. I know how to get rid of this weight. Knowledge, insights, images, and dreams have thus far failed to stiffen my resolve when fatigue has weakened it. Or disappointment. What is different this time is the date: Tuesday, 9/27/05. A day of self discipline, followed by another, followed by today. For all kinds of probably inane reasons, I like that combination of numbers, 9/27/05. I especially like that combination of numbers with the day, Tuesday. My reasons are unimportant. What is important is that it will be a very long time before a date so auspicious to me will come along.
