You know, enough time has passed that I no longer really remember exactly what it felt like to be big. While shuffling around trying to find my son's bathing suit for camp (which I can't, sigh), I ran across my old favorite Old Navy winter shirt I used to wear every single week, I loved it so much.

The second I pulled it out of the drawer--was on the phone with poor patient Nick, I started to freak out. OMG!!!!! I had to take a picture. This is pretty goofy and lol ignore the messy room--the stuff on top of my computer cabinet is a dead manuscript I won't ever work on again (a fantasy) and a stack of too-big clothes. Oh yes, and Maddox being dorky and trying to figure out what I am doing. And the shorts, they are old fat ones too, house-wearing only. My legs are half the size they used to be, I think!

This really made my day! And oh, 25 more days after today before I set foot in Germany again, WHEE! I am READY!





Of course, not nearly as hot as Scott Gill, but maybe further proof (as is he, and JB, whoa) that being in your forties does not mean you are ready to be DEAD AND BURIED! HA!

It HAS been work, yup. And now that I've reached this goal...there's that fic that needs attention. Oh yeah. Hard to focus now though that the trip is around the corner. LOL.

That goes for both of us, the not dead and not buried bit!

You look fabulous! Congratulations and it does make flying on airplanes easier, doesn't it? :P

I've just started exercising mostly seriously. I pull out the dance mat and get silly for a 25 minute work out. My weight is part of it, but mainly I'm just tired of not being able to play with my cats without panting after only two passes through the living room. So... you can help inspire me!

Heck no! I love me where I am now. well, I wish I didn't fret so much about money, but not much I can do about that. Such is life for us all. Gotta have the bucks. LOL.

*nods* your cats will thank you. I know the huskies love that I get them out and mess with them more now. And OH YES AIRPLANES! I have not flown since losing all this so I am excited! LOL. Awesome!

Hot damn! :D I love the outstretched arm; very model-y!

This reminds me of a pic I have of myself in my fleece hoodie that, when I got it, I couldn't zip the damn thing up, but after I lost all that weight, I held my niece in my arms and zipped it up over the both of us. Weight loss is awesome!

And yay, just 25 more days!!!!!!

lol was trying to just see how big it was compared to me underneath. Hard to tell but yeah, I told Nick I could probably get Maddox in there with me too!

SQUEE!

You realize we need a pink Speedo to make a proper determination on that.

And AWESOME.

Can you also post a pic of how you look in the clothes you wear now? You know, for those of us who'd like to see just how slender you are now? :D
