February 6,2002

And then there is John....He is my 21 year old, a senior in college, majoring in music administration in West Virginia. It is about a 14 hour drive from here(unless you are John and then it is a 12 hour ride). I called to check in on him to see how things were going and he informed me that his internship had fallen through(he needs it to fulfill the requirements to graduate in May)and not to worry he was scrambling around to find another one..God give me the strength. This would have been another eating moment...followed by a BIG glass of wine....instead it is now a writing moment.
The positive energy he exudes can be felt by all. Everything for him is fast paced, exciting and wonderful(except for the actual studying). I am pleased about where he is headed, he has great friends, and even a more wonderful girlfriend.. Life is good...I am blessed.
There are many advantages to getting thinner and healthier like "sticking" around to see my children grow into incredible adults, and I truly was at a place where my weight was a hazard to my health. If for no other reason, anyone who is 100 pounds overweight needs to take control over food and work to become thinner. If not there will come a day that obesity will zap your life away...My family is important to me and I plan on staying around to nag them for many a years...Got that kids???
