I'm on my final round of downward scale movement. I vow, to myself in front of all, that I will not do this again! Over the decades, I watched the scale tick up and up, then down, then up in a vicious cycle.

In October 2017, I joined curves and began my journey to fix what I had allowed to break. At my largest I was 328. Lost 70 or so pounds. In May of 2018 was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and still working on getting that under control. November 8, 2018 started like any other day (for a few minutes anyway) and an hour after waking up was evacuated from my town of Paradise CA due to the Camp Fire that raged through. Months of hopping around, a lot of hotel stays in various locations and finally relocating to Washington has taken a physical toll on my bones and brain and a hip replacement in the theater wings! And It could not come sooner!

I'm committing to myself - that I will come out on top of this heap healthier and happier...and a whole lot lighter!
