he calendars all have scales on them. Our children’s school projects have two scales. Wherever you look this time of the year you see scales. This makes me think about my most un-favorite of topics: my own problem with scales and weight.
How nice it would be to be able to ignore this “weighty topic” but alas it is not to be — how can I hide that which is obvious to all and how I can conceal that which can never be concealed? I’ve lost hundreds of pounds over the last 40 years; the only problem is that I’ve gained them all back and then some. It would be easy not to talk about it but the facts speak for themselves.
For those who have struggled with weight I know you’ll keep reading.
And for those of you who have no weight issues I hope you’ll also read until the end.
