Mini Wows as I Move Toward MY HEALTHY PLACE

Dec 06, 2009

I had two mini wow's this weekend.

The first was a compliment from a friend at work. I wear scrubs to work everyday but on Fridays I wear regular clothes. This Friday a friend at work said "Cynthia is disappearing, you can't sit a cup on her butt anymore"! That sounds like an insult but it actually goes along with a story that I have told about my but being so big that I knocked the light dimmer off the switch and later found it when it fell off my butt. LOL!

The second was during a visit with my MIL. On Oct 31 I saw her for the first time since surgery and she mentioned that she noticed my weight loss then. This weekend she told me that I had lost enough and should not lose anymore weight. I thought it was so funny because I have only lost 26 lbs. I have gone from 243 in January to 188 now, from size 22 in January to 14/16 now.

I am nowhere near goal but in my culture "thickness" is acceptable and being "skinny" is not. I really don't give a hot ham sandwich about culture's opinion. I am working on getting & staying healthy and for me I am nowhere near my healthy weight or size. I really am not sure what weight & size that is, although I originally set my goal weight at 135.  Don't know what size that is because I've been a size 20-22 for the past 25 years & don't remember 135 even as a child. But I plan to keep moving toward MY HEALTHY PLACE.
