Early this morning, I stepped hopefully on the scale and joyfully discovered I had released four fartilicious pounds this week...and I have officially reclaimed ONEderland!!!! This time, I am here to stay.  ONEderland is the place for me.  I feel like I can fly in this land, with wings strong and sure. 

About half an hour after my weigh in, I glanced out the window to determine where this loud beeping noise was coming from, and witnessed one of my elderly neighbors leaving in an ambulance.  He is probably in his seventies and has been obese his whole life.  My heart and prayers go out to him and his family.  At the same time, experiences like these make me reexamine my own life, and urge me to redefine my own life goals and dreams.  It could have been me in that ambulance, even in my 40's, before starting MF.  10 months ago, I weighed 320 pounds, had high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and was pre-Diabetic.  MF has effectively saved my life.  And in 53 more pounds, I will reach goal, and attain a weight and a lifestyle that I haven't enjoyed for 3 decades.  What have I been waiting for -- the ambulance to come and cart me away too? The time is now.  There is no past or future, only now.  Life for today.  It is a gift.  And remember, YOU are your own profound gift to this world.
