Well, today is a banner day!!!! I am normal! Yes, that is right per the BMI chart I have finally crossed over to normal weight. I weight in at 139. I just can't believe it! I thought the day would never come and now here it is. I still want to get to the 120's but I am so happy and am doing the happy dance.

Spend all day yesterday trying to find a bra and girdle or body brief that lift the girls and hold the skin in, but I am not happy with any of my purchases. I think I will post to see what everyone has found out.

We lost power this weekend, the hottest recorded in 9 years. We had to throw out all of our food! It's was a nightmare. Good news, I didn't feel like eating when it was 103 outside and inside.

I just know this is going to be the first of many "normal" moments.

Updated thoughts - After living with a bmi of almost 60 for years shedding the weight was so liberating. Little did I know of all the amazing experiences ahead.
