17 days to go!

Hello again:

I can't believe I have less than 3 weeks to go 'til I'm an official bandster!

I wished I'd quit smoking long before this, so I wouldn't have gained any weight. But, I didn't and I did - oh well. I'm not going to chastise myself too much over this.

I finally feel like I'm taking control of my life. I feel as if my life has been on hold for so long. To be only 5'2" and 246lbs. and an apple shape to boot - is not a very pretty picture.
