Take a look at my ticker.....

... I now am half way to goal!!!

I haven't been here for almost 15 years. That's so surreal!

I hit my three month mark yesterday and am now very comfortably into virgin fat territory. (I can call it virgin fat if it hasn't been touched in 15 years, can't I?)

The NSV's are many and come nearly every day. The best three thus far:

1. Not being recognized by someone I hadn't seen in a few months.

2. I can cross my legs!!!!!!

3. My son asked for his hoodie when I was folding laundry last week. I handed it to him and he said, "Yeah mom, this isn't mine. It's too small." Turns out it was a hand-me-down from a friend. I just didn't realize I'd gotten that small. I couldn't believe it when I put it on and it zipped comfortably. My brain and body still have a big disconnect.

Thanks for everyone's help and kind words throughout this journey of mine.

Congrats!!! I remember when I hit the 1/2 way to goal mark. I still have to remind myself that I'm BEYOND that. It really does take a long time for your head to catch up, doesnt it??

Yeah... the head and body disconnect is one I'm really working on. Maybe one day!

Thanks for the applause.

Way to go! Great NSVs. My son is only 7, but I'm looking forward to my hubby's clothes being too big ;0) Right now, they fit. Wonderful isn't it?

Seems like you've already managed to raid your hubby's closet at least once this week.

Isn't it grand?!

Congratulations! Oh my gosh, crossing the legs is SUCH a huge one, isn't it?? I finally felt feminine again. Good for you :)

Yes, crossing the legs is the one I've been focused on since the very beginning. As it turns out, I don't particularly like the way it feels. It's probably just too new a sensation. (Sitting here crossing and uncrossing my legs repeatedly just 'cuz I can.)

I must say, you have a gorgeous ticker! Very envious!

You can call that fat anything you want to - just remember not to get too attached (sometimes that happens when we name things) and be ready to wave goodbye as you kick it's ass to the curb
