Rocking the Extra Large

Aug 23, 2010

I had a great weekend at a conference.  Last year, I felt like (and probably was) the fattest woman in the room.  This year, I wasn't close.  I was looking through merchandise at some shirts that were on sale.  Another woman looked at me and said, "I couldn't find any larges either."  She thought I was a large.  How about that.

I had decided to buy at least one t-shirt and found the one I wanted.  I expected the sizes to be small, so I tried on a 2X, which was baggy.  I ended up with a 1X ... first time in I don't even know how long!!  For the record, I think the sizes were running a little big.  I don't care, though!

Last year at this conference, I lumbered around in the heat, just miserable.  This year, I felt normal.  I still struggle with standing for long periods of time, but I'm working on it.

I didn't feel like exercising today, but I made myself.  I immediately felt better as soon as I started. 

I love my new life and I love the folks who take the time to read my blog.  I give you my all my best wishes!
