Don't tell anybody but ...

...there is a chance I am actually losing weight.

For the record, I've never left an anonymous comment so you can take my name off your mental checklist of people it might be:)

I'm rooting for you and would just like to add that the world of gluttony and overeating is decidedly lacking in justice. Most of the gluttons I know aren't overweight. And many of the people I know who are overweight aren't gluttons. Nutritionists would have us believe that there is a direct correlation between caloric intake and weight gain but the correlation isn't nearly as simple as that. There are other factors to consider including metabolism and hormone balance and all kinds of other things that I don't understand. I have another sister-in-law who has struggled valiantly to lose weight and slowly but surely (a few pounds every year) she has been succeeding, but if the world were fair, most of us would be heavier than she is. Many of us eat three times as much as she does at any given meal and are fortunate enough not to be drastically overweight.

It's an uphill battle against all kinds of unfair odds, but I'm cheering for you one pound at a time and even if you fail more than you succeed I'll love you all the same.
