Thankfulness

Nov 24, 2009

I have been loving the new clothes that I can now wear.  On Sunday, I was wearing nice black slacks, black boots, and a nice wool Halston car coat with a tie belt.  I stepped into my sister's home, where her entry closet closes with a set of mirrored doors.  (I don't have a full-length mirror, but I think I need to get one.)  I stood there for a moment - I usually don't bother much looking at myself, but I stopped, because I was dumbstruck.  I called to my sister.  "Are these vanity mirrors?"  She asked what I meant.  "Do they make you look thinner than you are?" 

She laughed and came to stand next to me.  "Kathy," she said, "That's what you look like." 

"Are you sure?"  I asked.  She assured me that I, indeed, looked that thin.  I could hardly believe it.  The changes are so wonderful, but it sure is hard getting that fat girl out of my head. 

Despite my intention of letting my hair grow out, I cut it all off the other day.  It's very similar to Beth - Melting Mama's hair.  Very short, very easy, very chic.  I have gotten TONS of compliments, so I am really enjoying this new stage.  And I only have eleven pounds to go before I will be simply overweight.  The label "obese" will no longer apply to me. 

Lots to be thankful for this week.
