A basketful of gratitude...

I am getting ready to go to work, in my size 10 pants and size L shirt and feeling very grateful in general, and grateful to all of you guys for the support that I *have to have* to stay on track.

Just for today, I feel like it's okay to be right where I am, to be exactly the size I am today, to have wrinkly flappy arms that still fit nicely into my size L shirt. I am thankful for Spanks that keeps my midriff from jiggling. Just for today, I feel like it will all be okay if I just do my best to live in the present and not overthink everything.

After I consciously stopped trying to overthing everything a few days ago, I had a nice little weight loss. Kind of scary for someone who lives so much in her head, of course, but hey, I'll take it.

That's great, Happy! I know that when I "live in gratitude" I'm less likely to hire a hit man about my scale when it is stingy -- which it has been a LOT for the past many weeks.

Living in the moment makes life so much more fulfilling..............being aware of everything around us........the changing colors of leaves, the warmth of the sun even when it's chilly, the songs of the birds as they bid summer adieu........little things.

I'm glad you are finding joy in your size 10 pants and size L shirt -- dreams of mine, but some day.

Simply put................I'm very happy for you!
