Well, life is good!

In February I went back to Texas for my birthday, and my brother give me a new fill. I have been doing great with this one and am back to my usual bandster lifestyle, and loving it! I have finally lost the last 5 lbs I've been playing with for two months! I have to say, I am FINALLY happy with my weight. I would like to lose another 10 lbs or so, but if I stayed right where I am, I would have absolutely no qualms whatsoever!

I have been traveling a bunch for job interviews all over the country in the last month. I got to go buy a new suit, which was ridiculously fun. I got one from Ann Taylor - it is a size FOUR, with room to spare!!!! My last suit from there, which was from December of 2006 (so only about 15 months ago) was a size 14. Wow. I didn't realize how much more confident I would feel walking into a job interview being a thin person! I also got the cutest new pair of jeans by a company called Joe's Jeans - they were ridiculously expensive, but I wear them every single weekend - they are a size 27, which just seems amazingly small to me.

I will say, though I feel great, I still don't truly realize how much smaller I am until I see pictures or see my reflection at random. In my own mirror, I still see the same chubby girl, but when I'm out and about I sometimes get surprised by my appearance. I am starting to truly realize that I am a "small" person now, which I have never been in my life. Even as a kid, people called me "big boned." It is so weird to be thought of as "small" now.

Certain things have really changed. I absolutely adore shopping - this is a bad thing- I spend too much money! I have also really noticed that I don't have near the amount of aches and pains that I used to have. I had a lot of back problems before, and though have pretty much disappeared! I don't get tired running up stairs and stuff. Crossing my legs is an absolute pleasure, and I literally think that every time I cross them! Just lots of weird stuff that I've started to notice more lately, for some reason. It almost feels like I wasn't letting myself notice all the great stuff until I'd lost my desired amount - now, I am finally truly realizing and taking advantage of it!
