Yes, that's me circa 1974.
And me in 2012 and today.
I posed for the photo as I prepared for a local Biggest Loser competition. I included the photo in an online blog and on FaceBook as a means of body shaming, hoping it would motivate me to lose weight. It did and it didn't. I lost twenty-five pounds during the three month competition and gained back even more. And this is how it's been every year since, with any and every weight loss program, succeeding and failing, failing, failing, over and over again.
With the Corona diet, I lost ten pounds while I was sick. I had no appetite, and but for the occasional soup and crackers, I hardly ate anything. I have gained back the ten pounds and more, even though I continue to have no taste for food.
Obesity is one of the underlining conditions and could have been the reason COVID-19 chose me.

You keep trying to convince me that’s you circa 1974. Just joking. You are always beautiful to me.. it’s not about the size of the person, it’s the person inside. And you are truly a winner and wonderful friend.
