I watched Star Jones the other day on Oprah and thought Oh My God! She was at 300 lbs and lost 150 of it. She spoke of the emotional trama and adjustments that she had to make to her everyday routine. Just the thought that she was getting so much attention. The notion that others would be interested in her. Danny B - my piano player and I always think of writing a song called I’m invisible. It’s about a person who is overweight and not visible to the public. It’s probably my story. The only difference is that I am very visible. I am visible when I am on stage. If you don’t know me other than that maybe you might think I am iinvisible.
Star Jones spoke of the fears of becoming so noticeable. I know that as a big girl, I often think I will be so much better at things when I lose all this weight. But then there is that thought or idea of being afraid of all the attention. I do think that people should do therapy before the go too far in losing. Some of that weight is emotional and needs to be tended to.
I am walking in the heat today. Then I will go to the gym. Sticking with it!
