Dancing, dinning, and dynamite looking

Feb 27, 2011

I just read someone's blog about according to the doctor's chart, she is just now overweight.  When do we get to stop thinking we are obese or overweight and just start thinking we are healthier?  I am NOwhere near where I want/need to be goalwise or weightwise, but I feel great!  I danced last night!  I mean danced with my husband and other men (I know what you are thinking and they were just a group of gay men we met at a club).  We threw napkins and danced at this Greek resturant...OPA!  I felt more alive last night then I have in 2 years!  I felt attractive and sexy (not once did I think someone was going to judge me for being the "fat" girl.  I just felt like me!  I loved it! 

I do have to admit I was a bit worried about the food.  It was served family style, but we got little plates to sample everything they brought out.  I stayed away from the salad and spinach spanicopita.  I had a few pitas pieces with cucumber sauce and humus.  I tried the chicken kabobs, but found that the gyro lamb meat worked better for me.  AND I even had a bite or two of baklava.  I ate what I wanted and just left the extra on my plate.  After dancing (and 30 minutes) I drank my water.  Life is an adjustment, but well worth the rewards my body is experiencing. 

337!  2 years since I saw that number...and I have to say...I didn't think obese or overweight.  I think pride and accomplishment.  I think my next small goal.  I think about belting my 26's or wearing the 24 dress hanging in the closet.  I think bring on the booths!  I think bring on the concert seats (which by the way I went to on Wednesday night with my husband.  It was great!  We sat on the floor...which is something I would have never done before because of the "fat girl" scene.)  I even say bring on the scale!
