I see the number on the scale, I see the size on the clothes, reality is I am smaller. Reality is that when someone is coming my way down a hall I don't have to side step  3 feet out of the way, we'll pass by comfortably. Reality is that I don't have to shop in the plus size section any more and yes I will fit into that XL without trying it on. Reality is that I don't have to eat to have friends and socialize they like me any way. Reality is I don't have to take the long route around the diner, I can cut through the tables and I'll make it through with room to spare. Reality is that 1 yogurt for breakfast is more then enough to eat, no need for a breakfast sandwhich also. Reality is that when I cross my legs they will stay there, not slip down. Reality is that I don't need to use the beach towel after a shower anymore, I can use a regular towel and there is plenty of material to dry me off. Reality is I can sit on the floor now and get up without getting on all fours to do so. Reality is that I can reach my feet to tie my shoes and even make the bows neatly in the middle, not to the insides of my feet. Reality is that when I am seated at a table, just because a person passes behind me doesn't mean I need to pull into the table, they are just passing by without any effort. Reality is that it doesn't matter if I wait in line an hour for a ride at an amusement park, I will get on and I will fit in the seat. Reality is that when I look down not only do I see my feet but I can see my legs too. Reality is I only have one chin, not three!! Reality is that when I lay down to sleep at night the apnea won't take me out as I do so cause it went away. Reality is that I won't lose my feet to diabetes and will run with my son as he learns to walk cause the diabetes went away. Reality is that my esophagus will make it more years in tact because the GERD went away.  Reality is that I do not need those size 32 shirts in the closet anymore, it's time to accept reality and let them go. Let it all go and live in today's.... Reality!!
