Thank you, friends. So I should embrace my Weebleness, huh? You all make it sound so easy.

Trek, thank you. I've got size 20, elastic-waist jeans, too. I wore them yesteday.

I'm sorry for the whine fest. I should have put a Pity Party warning sign on the subject line. I appreciate all the love and support, and the really, really great advice. I can contact a nutritionist myself. I was just hoping for a qualified referral to a sports nutritionist. I guess he didn't know any. My family doctor is a runner and cyclist, too, though, so I'm sure she knows someone.

When I do tell someone how much I weigh, they're usually surprised. I don't look it from the waist up. My hips, though, and thighs...remember that SNL skit about the wide-bottomed people? I'm not quite that bad, but not too far off.

I'm a Weeble. A Weeble who can bike twenty - thirty miles and swim a whole mile without stopping.

Trek, I'm going to take your story as my inspiration here. I'd love to get down to a size 12. I know I can do it. I just have to not get injured and keep up the regular exercise.

Thank you again, everyone, for the love and support.
