The Skinny on Fat 11-06-2009 - For the last 9 years I’ve been working hard to lose weight, yo-yoing to the extreme, to the point that I’ve lost hope. I would say there is no one on this planet who wants to reclaim her life more, nor has anyone ever made more effort. It’s not about how I look, but about being able to walk. It’s about my steady decline regardless of what I do as I keep eating.
