CarbFest '13

[cwmackowski]

Africa was little more than a CarbFest when it came to diet: matooke, rice, veggies, fruit, fried bread in various forms.... And beer. There was meat and beans, of course, and ground nuts. But lots of carbs

Many years ago I was told by an African that I was very valuable, worth many cattle for marriage. I was after all a good size... (I weighed 15-20 pounds less than I do now). I was also informed that was a huge compliment.

I still recall that remark - when my mean spirited inner voice talks smack to me about weight - I try to think about how my value may have increased with a few more pounds. :)

Welcome home. Your life will never be the same again. xoxo

Part of me wants to say, "Hey, good for you!" all enthusiastically and stuff. The other part wants to say, "Oh, shut up. I think I found your missing pounds..." while glancing at my midsection.
