Pedometer Challenge: Day 4
Little too sleepy for any brilliant insights tonight.
I did, however, want to post my numbers and thank everyone for their kind comments on yesterday’s meltdown post. I’ll respond properly soon. Promise. :)
In the meantime, keep fighting the good fight, folks. We’re all in this together.

Just Too Fat
I’ve spent my whole life as “the fat girl,” but only recently has that title proved to be too much for me to handle.
This journal does not represent my quest to accept myself as “big boned” or “pleasantly plump” or even as “fat and fabulous.”
No.
These pages are as much about coming to terms with the fact that I am just too fat as they are about my journey towards a healthier life.
