Fifth Complete Week

Here I am again at the end of another week... this makes five since I started this war. This morning's weigh-in was great... 184.5 pounds. That's down 3.5 pounds since last week.

I could be worried that this is too much weight to lose in one week, but remember, I've been holding water the past two weeks and all that seems to be gone today. So I expect that this loss is part FAT and part water. I'll take it. Total weight loss to date, 13.5 pounds and she's doing the banana dance to celebrate!

But lately I've been thinking it's not enough to make this journey alone. Americans are literally dying of obesity related problems and I feel selfish keeping all my success to myself. It's time to spread the word - help has arrived.

Are you struggling with your weight? Have you been on and off diets your whole life? Would like to feel like you've found an answer that will work for the rest of your life? If you can say yes to any or all of these questions, well, welcome to my world. I invite you to join me as I blaze a trail out of this hell hole.

Are you with me? Leave me a comment or email me at kristin.cohn@yahoo.com. I'd like to help you win your battle against FAT, too!

And here's the thinner girl this week... I was feeling artsy fartsy... can ya tell?



Next up --> Emotional Eating... stay tuned!

From an email I received:

Dear Kristin: I just tripped over your website while I was looking at images of the Painted cave. You are an inspiration, thank you. I too have declared war, but it is more a war on the extreme. I want to act normal, as if that is a tangible word, when I eat. Enjoy the food, eat nutritional food, be stable emotionally by eating the proper balance of food, BUT not be consumed by the whole process of getting or not getting. SO... I think I'll read your web entries for inspiration. I was reading something about Eating Disorders and one of the things they said that was important was to have contact with encouragement. SO I stand inspired... I look forward to an exciting journey with you in this war.
If I could figure out how the website works I'd respond directly but I am a web neophyte.
