Day 70 - I didn't know what love is

After a hell of a week, the weigh in. I don't feel as if anything has changed, but this is maybe in my mind rather then in reality. This was proven to be the case as I found at weigh in I had lost a further 4 lb, taking my total weight loss to over 60 lbs! Fantastic.

And so to a song very dear to my heart as I relate to it closely from a time when I was in the middle of a family crisis due to illness and I found out what was important in life. After a tough week both with the plan and with some issues at home, this song reminds me of exactly what is important. My family, love and all that. Simply beautiful......

Title: The Hurt

Artist: Cat Stevens

Album: Foreigner

Year: 1973

Young son, don't let me down, young son

I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now

Hold on, never let go, now hold on

Turn your heart to the bright sun

Love will come your way

Cos 'till you make that final show

You'll never know what love you've been missing

Missing

You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone

No one to help you and nobody to push you on

So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on

You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day one'll come along

But wishful thinking, boy, any minute now you might be gone

I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way

Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way

Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I

I didn't think of this until I got hurt

'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
