Biggest Loser - Day: 7  It's Monday and I've been on this diet for one week and I love my scale!  It shows that I've lost 10 pounds!

OK, so I've never been called that -- at least that I want to remember -- but I could have been called that throughout most of my life. So I know what it's like to be fat.  Yes, I said it.  Fat isn't a bad word just like skinny isn't one.  That's a name that I've never been called.  I do know what it's like to be the biggest person in the room and wanting to stay in the background.  Just being real. 

Thoughts for Day 5 but day 1 of this blog.
