A Pound of Flesh

I have never in my life lost 4 pounds in a week before. Normally, I can barely lose that much in month. This is remarkable. It feels good to want something, work for it, and achieve it. Well, it always feels good to do that no matter what the goal. But with weight loss it seems like I want it, work for it, and achieve next to nothing. I'm happy about this, but I'm realistic as well. This rate can't go on much longer -- I know that it's as high as it is because I have a lot to lose. I'm ready for the effort. I'm willing to work just like so many other overweight Americans. I willing to work if it works.
