You know that it is has been a good weekend when I weigh less on Monday morning than I did on Friday morning. I have lost 164 pounds total, and 104.2 pounds since surgery.
We went to the Georgia National Fair in Perry, GA on Saturday. I LOVE the fair – there is so much to see and do – and SO MUCH TO EAT! Funnel Cakes – greasy pizza – cinnamon pecans and cashews – sausage – turkey legs – cotton candy – those are the staples, and then there are some very weird things, too – deep fried snickers bar, anyone? The smells attack from all sides – tempting and beckoning. But I did well – I had a little pulled pork when it was time to eat lunch. And a friend bought some of the cinnamon roasted nuts, and I had a few of those. But I walked past all of the other things.
I did have one really bad moment – there was a couple, both of whom were very large – she had to walk with crutches, and he was also having difficulty. It looked like he might have had cellulitis. It made my heart hurt as I watched them slowly make their way around. If other people looked at them, it was easy to read the disgust or sometimes pity on the onlooker’s faces. I felt their pain as if it were my own – because it has been my own.
But we had a great time with friends, we did a lot of walking – it was beautiful weather, although a little too warm.
