Dear Papa

I love you. You make me laugh and have been here from me in my time of sorrow. Thanks for the piggy back rides and for always sharing your caffeine free Pepsi. I love sitting on the couch looking out the window talking about your "tuuuuckkk". You are a great friend and I love you. Thanks for being such a great man for me.

Love,

the lil' man Dean Cooper

How Stress and Loneliness Killed My Appetite

Well as many of you know I've had many new stresses in my life over the last 10 weeks and instead of comfort eating I went the other direction........ This is me in late November at my heaviest *** plus pounds. (not really willing to admit how huge I was)

I have lost not one.....

Not two....

but three pant sizes!


I have lost 30 plus pounds in 9 weeks. I still have alot of work to do. However this is the smallest I've been since high school!

I'm really pound of myself and can't wait to see the changes my body mind and soul go through over the next year. Happy New Year and good luck to you all and your goals and dreams in 2011!
