It has been an interesting month. Over the holidays, I saw many people I hadn’t seen for awhile and they all are calling me “Skinny Mini”. Ha! I have never
before in my life been called “skinny”. I am definitely skinnier than I used to be (down 60 lbs now) but I am in no way what anyone would call skinny. People who have only just met me and hear about my weight loss from others are shocked. They think I just look “normal”. Hey NORMAL is good ! I like that!
I know that in the past anyone who met me would have always described me as “chubby”, “pleasantly plump”, “fat” or “overweight”. And now people think I am “normal”! Yippee! But the big yippee this month is I can now wear size 10 pants! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever wear size 10. I was so happy when I got into size 14 in August as that was my goal. Then when I got into size 12 in October, I was thrilled! Now I am in shock and over the
moon. If I live the rest of my life as a size 10, I will be very happy. I would just like to tone up a bit as my thighs are jiggly and my upper abs are
also a bit “wrinkly”…..but then I am old so I guess I deserve all those wrinkles! I still have 20 lbs to go to get to my goal of not being overweight anymore. I am having more heart issues but hope that is resolved soon so I can stay the course. But if I have to stop for awhile, I will be happy…..afterall…I am considered a “normal” sized old lady now!
