Weight
To be honest, I weigh myself several times a day. And as you can see from the numbers below, I started by “officially” weighing in once a week, always in the morning around the same time (between 7:00 and 8:00am). But I learned what we are always told, which is that weight changes all the time. Weighing yourself frequently can be disconcerting, another painful fact I realized. One other thing, which I hope and pray to be true: building muscle mass means that weight might stay the same. So, the real truth comes in the measurements.

Bubba, I wrote a second ago, clicked submit, and it came back error since I didn’t include my email address, so I hope I don’t repeat myself when I say how proud of you I am… although it never hurts to hear that more than once, eh? You’re making this difficult time seem like you are having so much fun, wow, so much weight and so many inches…. terrific! Is there anything you need? Is there any way we can help you? You make me speechless, congratulations, keep up the fantastic work, and work it is…. I love you, Mom
