When You're A Big Girl Like Me,

I Try To Live In A Little Bit Of My Own Joy And Not Let People Steal It Or Take It.

It's Gotten To The Point Where If I Throw A Cookie In The Garbage, I Have To Douse It In Cascade. Otherwise, Why Wouldn't I Take It Out And Eat It?

I've Had Weight Issues All My Life. I've Been On All The Diets: Atkins, Liquid Protein, Scarsdale Diet. Now I Go To The Gym Often. I'm Always On The Stairmaster, And I Do Weights.

From Time To Time, I'll Look Back Through The Personal Journals I've Scribbled In Throughout My Life, The Keepers Of My Raw Thoughts And Emotions. The Words Poured Forth After My Dad Died, When I Went Through A Divorce, And After I Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer. There Are So Many What-ifs Scribbled On Those Pages.

I Like The Pace Of My World. It's Busy, But For Me, The Less I Do The Lazier I Get.
