10/1/09 My minds image of the new me is finally skinny
Dec 21, 2009
10/1/09 Sometimes it is the small things that matter. Things that no one else would notice but you. I am noticing the muscles in the thighs when I am getting up off the toilet and the bones in my shoulders. I grabbed my shoulder one day more to itch my back but was amazed by the bones I could feel. Then just this past weekend I was washing my arm pits and there was actually a pit under my arm. I can hug myself and grab a hold of my shoulder blades with the opposite hands, that one was really odd. All those little things matter and those are the things I need to remember when I am concerned about how I am progressing. I feel great and can do anything I want, what a great opportunity I have been given. I am looking forward to all those other little things. I also had two people I know pretty well who did not even recognize me until one heard my voice and the other recognized my dog. Karen’s comment was “you are only half way here, where is the other half of you?” and my next door neighbor was just surprised and said “you have lost a lot of weight.”I keep saying I will never get tired of people noticing my weight loss and commenting on it. Yes, I use to be fat and looked it. I was scrapbooking pictures this past weekend. They were old pictures of my from Disneyland in 2005. I could not get over how bad I looked and how fat I was. I just sat there staring at myself. Until that moment I still saw myself as that fat person. I think for the first time the internal image I had of myself was not fat, she is skinny.
