The view from normal...?

Yep, as of this morning, I have a normal BMI.  (Now the way these things fluctuate, tomorrow? May be overweight again, but hey, 24.9 is mine and I'm claiming it!)

It's so weird because I seem to look slimmer than I am.  Nobody can believe I'm still "overweight" or even close to it, and I've gotten to that point where people start thinking I'm going to lose too much.

Okay, I have long lean thighs and legs so add heels or boots to that and I'm 5'7" and yeah, I look kind of slim. 

But I can still grab handfuls of fat around my middle.  Not just skin--there's  obviously a lot of fat still, or I wouldn't be at 24.9, right? Right!

I have bought two things from the UK that I bought too small and now will either have to pay lots of postage to send back and exchange, or hope that losing 10 more pounds will make a difference (and that I'll do it soon enough to get to wear this stuff before it starts getting warm again).

I think I let the way my Chico's cotton blouse fit and my Eddie Bauer jeans fit confused me, because they may both run a bit large. Now I have several things that are too small and my weight loss has slowed so... yeah, not sure what I'm going to do other than hold onto receipts and think about it a week or so.

But hey, I am so freaking happy!  I look and feel good, my labs were AMAZING (seriously--I never expected my cholesterol and triglycerides and such to be so good, though now that I think about it, the way I've been eating, why wouldn't they be?) and... yeah.

Seven and a half months out and life is good and I love my sleeve!

Yay!!  That is awesome!
