My Monday Musing

12:01 a.m. Monday.

Today (Sunday) I broke the 100# mark. Finally.

If I lose eight more pounds, I will have lost the total sum of what Karen Carpenter weighed at the time of her passing. This is not to be glib. Just stating a fact.

Another fact many folks (who went to school with me, and who *may* have tormented me mercilessly in junior high) might NOT know about me, is during high school, I, too was anorexic.

In 1982 when I started high school as a freshman, my lowest weight was 109#, at 5'7" tall. When Karen Carpenter passed away, she was all of 5'4" and 110. She would have been in her 62nd year, if she were alive today.

30 Years later, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, I finally have the awareness of how very lucky I am.
