Day 5 - Weighty Issues
Today I told a few more people about my blog. The one thing I was nervous about was the fact that I publicly announced my weight a la "The Biggest Loser". Most people are surprised I weigh over 200 pounds, saying I don't look like it. I guess I'm just dense, thick, muscular, solid or whatever other term comes to mind. Perhaps I am a perfect example of the incorrect statement "muscle weighs more than fat". (Actually a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat.) Still I was shy about sharing the number. But as my friend Julia put it, I'm just "putting it all out there". I think this takes courage, but so will doing whatever it takes to make the transformation - which includes losing a lot of fat - to my healthier and happier self.
