get back to my high school weight (+20 pounds or so if we're being realistic here)

One thing I have been doing this year is trying to find a silver lining in every crummy thing. It helps to keep my slightly more positive than I might otherwise be (which isn’t always a cheery ball of sunshine to begin with).

Two weeks ago I went to the ER for tummy pains and wound up being admitted and stuck there for 4 days on an IV without any food or even water.

My silver lining? I lost about 7 pounds and they haven’t come back yet… I guess there’s 38 more pounds to go to get to high school weight… 18 if I allow myself the +20 wiggle room.

Let’s hope I can do it… without any more hospital visits!
