When I moved to Louisiana in 1987, I weighed 190 lbs. Today I weigh 320 lbs. That extra 130 lbs is an expression of the joy I have experienced as citizen/participant of the party we call Louisiana. You see in Louisiana, a meal isn't just a way to nourish the body. In the Bayou State, a meal is a celebration. The anticipation that goes along with planning and preparing a meal, any meal, only adds to the experience. We gather with friends and celebrate with food.
So here's the thing. In a couple weeks I will start a liquid diet. The good folks at Pennington Biomedical Research have invited me to participate in a five year weight loss experiment that begins with four months on a liquid diet. I plan to blog the experience here. Stay tuned.
