We played at our friends, the Ferrin's, house this morning. Then Nate went to preschool where everybody loved his new haircut:
Daddy got done with school at 4 (SO EARLY!!), so we decided to go see "Horton Hears a Who." The kids like the book, but none of us were particularly thrilled with the movie. Tomorrow is Nate's Pirate birthday party. He can't wait--I just hope that we're all ready when the kids
arrive!
Also, on a more serious note... This past year has been very difficult for us. Illness, hospitalizations, depression (I know it's an illness), med-school, death, just to name a few. Over the past 14 months, I have gained 60 lbs. Gaining this weight (which was mostly from a medication) has had an enormous effect on my life. I have friends who I haven't seen in a year and I only make it to church about once a month because I am so self-conscious about how I look. I am embarrassed to look like I do. I am embarrassed for people to know that I am fat. I am embarrassed for people to see me. I am writing this here as accountability--I will lose this weight. I will lose it.
Goodnight.
nice summer 'do for Nate!
ReplyDeleteI think you are gorgeous and wonderful no matter what you weigh. Please don't let your struggle with weight get in the way of your life. Life's too short. Just try to find the many pleasures in your life, and it will be easier to manage weight loss. I love you.
ReplyDeleteNate is such a cutie :) He looks fabulous with his hair cut short like that. Also, I'm sure you will be able to lose the weight - you've done MUCH harder things in life before and succeeded. I recommend Edy's slow churned - less fat and calories, same great ice cream flavor. Love you.
