As I continued to search for a focus for my writing, I've realized that I have a far more serious concern looming.
My weight.
For the majority of my life, I had been slender. I could eat just about anything I wanted and it wouldn't affect me.
Not anymore. Before I gave birth to my daughter, I gained a considerable amount of weight during my junior year of college. When I was expecting my daughter, my weight crept up and stayed up.
Now it's time for it to come down. The irony is not lost on me that as a child, I would comment on the pounds that others would need to lose and quite accurately, according to my mother. Mom marveled at my word choice (for such a young child.)
"We didn't know where you got that from. He or she needs to lose pounds. Most people say weight," she would say to me.
At any rate, whatever you call it, weight or pounds, this chick right here needs to lose them.
Lord help!
