From Cocoon to butterfly

Thank you everyone so much for your compliments and praise for getting to my minigoal. (first among many) It means the world to me to be able to open up my email box and find so many commnets from you and makes my day that much brighter! But for the really great, gotta get it mounted and framed news…

I actually had someone notice that I lost weigh today without any subliminal messages from me!!  I am so so happy. How to explain. Over here, very few people will compliment you on losing weight. You see, as the lady was explaining to me, I am so fat to begin with that when they see me next time, albeit a little thinner, I am still so fat to them that they don’t notice. Now, this may sound harsh to you but that is the way over here. Fact is, even when I got to size 10 years ago, I did not get that many compliments so when I get something, I want to frame it and remember it forever. So, this blog is framing it to remember it when those  low days hit. I was at the fish store buying some fish for my son’s tank. Now, this lady and I have been friends forever! Well, about seven years I would say. She has watched my kids grow up and all that and I stop by to talk to her when I get a chance. She was talking and then suddenly, she says , your face is thinner”. Yeah! I told her, yep, I was losing weight again since having the baby and she said she could tell I was thinner now. Feels pretty good and although I don’t need it to continue, it sure helps to make things better.
