“Come to the edge, he said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them and they flew.”
~Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1919)
I feel like I am pushing the edges all around me. Seeing what I am capable of and able to tolerate. Sticking my toe in the water. Feeling around in the dark. It's a whole new world for me.
I started using Alli with my meals. The nutritionist said that if I am going to be practicing eating well then why not use Alli to help maximize my weight loss. Now I am using it and I am very careful about my fat gram intake. Alli can have some really yucky side effects if you eat a high fat meal. And, Lord knows, I don't want to shart myself in the Walmart. So cucumbers it is:)
These next three photos are your FITS for the week.
I love the little boy in the chair so much!!! That hair kills me. I call him the Lollipop Kid:) He is beautiful beyond words.
She is a true beauty and I have the original for you and also one I have colorized. I love her hair and think she looks so modern.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone and thank you so very much for your sweet words and support. Love, Jamie

Glad to see you're back to blogging.... and love your art as always. Thanks for the freebies. They are wonderful.
Hang in there. It sounds like you are doing everything just right.
I have had a life long struggle with my 18 year old daughter who has been on meds since age 5 for brian chemistry issues. She needed meds before age 5 but no one would believe me. It's just the terrible 2's, they would say. It was much much more than the terrible 2's!!
I am glad to hear your stories.

Lollipop kid is da bomb!
Shart....I learned a new word, thank you! ;-)
Sending you good thoughts and prayers as you tackle this, my friend.
Hugs,

I go up; I go down...always a battle.
Good luck, I hope this works for you!!!
Jamie,
Okay, I just 'shart' myself reading your post! I've heard of that drug, Alli. I'd be scared to death to try that, I have no self control. I'd have to run around in Depends. The lollipop boy is totally amazing! I love the digital collage you created from his image. Lisa
Hi!
Wanted you to know I posted a link to your blog a couple of days ago.

Firstly there is no doubt in my mind that you are going to reach your goal. I can see by your blog that you have no issue when it comes to "making things happen"
and Second of all you are cool and quirky and I'm so happy I stumbled into your nest. Your generous inspiring nest.
Hi Jamie! I am slow to do it but just popped in to check on you. Sounds like you've been working hard in lots of ways and I know it will all pay off for you. Just keep doin' what you're doin' and know that so many folks love you and are cheering you on!

Love your "Fly" piece Jamie! You made me LOL at the walmart comment! Hope everything works out for you! xoxo
Jamie, in reading your blog today I never knew you struggled with depression. I admire your artwork so much, I am so glad you have it as an outlet (and I am so glad we all have you to share with us). Good luck with the Alli.... Try and find one good thing to be thankful for every day, then go have a great week!
Just discovered you, thank you so much for all of the inspiration!
Hi, Jamie - I just came across your blog and love these images you shared today. Thank you! And, I wish you all the luck in the world with the whole weight loss/Alli thing! It isn't easy no matter what way you take to get there - I hate cucumbers! I do admire anyone who can be disciplined to eat less or no fat AND do cukes or veggies, etc. Now, I'm going to explore your blog further.
Hi, Jamie!
Just thinking of you and hoping you and family are enjoying the Halloween time of year!
Hope all is well and miss you :)
Hugs,
Tami
