I don't' even know what to say to this....

There are several journals that I read, one imparticular I went to today simply because I haven't read him in a while so I thought I would catch up. He's a brilliant writer, just recently published his own book about his life and losing weight. You might have heard of him.

Anyway....He only wrote one entry so far in august (which is strange) and it would seem fit that I read it today, of all days.

here it is for those interested.

I find it very disturbing that we as people, human beings could let this happen to one of our own. I feel so childish now because of my little episode earlier when that woman could have easily been me. And its not. It never will be either. Its people like that that need the help. Not me. I know what to do. Obviously she didn't. I have help and obviously she didn't. I'm sitting here asking the same questions Fred did. What was she thinking that first day when she sat down and decided she was never getting up again. How did that happen?? And where was her family?? Her husband?? Her neighbors?? Anybody!!

I wish I could reach out to every person who is trapped by there own body and show them that just because they are that size doesn't mean they can't move.

I don't' know what the hell I'm saying. I'm just in shock. Because I know that that woman could have easily been me had I not had people in my life that cared about me.

and now its too late for her.
