The Most True Award EVER.

I don't know if I'm versatile or sweet or if I have substance.  But, I am definitely hungry. And this award is the most fitting of them all.



I'm hungry in the true sense of the word. Hungry for things I shouldn't have. Hungry for things bad for me, but also things good.

I'm HUNGRY to be fit. I'm hungry to be healthy. I'm hungry to re-learn old and dangerous habits. I'm hungry to exercise. I'm hungry to run longer and faster. I'm hungry to do things I never thought I could do before.

I'm HUNGRY to buy new clothes in stores where my skinny friends can buy something other than jewelry.

I'm hungry for the feeling you get when you know you've done SOMETHING BIG.

I'm hungry to discover something new about me. I'm hungry to remember old familar things about me.

I'm HUNGRY to be a good example for my kids. I'm hungry to be an example for my patients.

I'm hungry to be PROUD of the way I look and feel.

I'm HUNGRY for a life time of being hungry for MORE life and MORE of everything good.

I'm SO HUNGRY for all these things that I'm going to ignore that part of me that is hungry for the cake someone just brought in here.


You're right Allan. I am SOO hungry. Thanks for this award.

What about the rest of you? Are you hungry ENOUGH?

    I'm hungry for holiday season to be over! "Lead me not into temptation, for I can find it by myself..." (TM someone much more creative than I, LOL)

    Your list is as true and complete as it could ever be from one who has been there. Those of us who have had to deal with the limitations of obesity really get it. Go for it, Doc. I know you'll get there!
