Looking at all the positives...

So, sometimes when im feeling sorry for myself...like last night when I walked away from the pizza that my daughter ordered (she is naturally very thin..thank God!) I think of all the positives like....
1- I walked out of the house last night (pizza) and went to the mall...to my surprise I fit into a 14 jeans and an XL top.... I screamed in the fitting room and the young girl asked if I was OK. lol

2- I can bend over and paint my OWN toenails. Saving BIG bucks on pedicures. So I can buy those jeans.

3- I can walk up stairs without feeling like I need oxygen.

4- I dont struggle to fasten my seat belt.

5-I tried on some spring jackets that were maybe 7-8 years old...yes, i kept them, and I found a total of $47.00 dollars in the pockets.

6- My blood work gets better every time.

7- I dont hide in the stores when I see someone I knew in highschool.

Oh my goodness I can go on and on....so this morning when I woke up and went to the fridge and saw some of the left over pizza that I missed so much last night and I literally gave it my middle finger and said "I dont NEED you after all!" Yes, I spoke to a plate of pizza and I dont even feel crazy.
