inspirational figures in my life.

Oprah knows a lot about being fat.

She also knows a lot about inspiration.

When I considered unfatting myself, I decided to look to my four o-clock friend for help.

She suggested creating a "vision board" of sorts. You know, the idea that visualizing myself as a skinny would make me work towards my goal?

I didn't actually make the board, but instead posted these images all over the house. In the cupboard, refrigerator, toilet seat, the headboard of my bed, on diapers, mirrors and the kitchen table.

Ninety pounds, here I come!
