It's been a crazy week. When on top of everything Nathan came down with a fever last night, I really just wanted to bang my head against the wall & scream at the universe. I have been trying hard all week to find something positive in all of this craziness & I finally have!
I was a chubby kid growing up. When I was a teenager, I lost a lot of weight and I was actually quite sexy & attractive in my late teens, but I gained way too much weight in my 20s with my pregnancies. There was a time a few years ago when I was a (gasp) size 28W.
I have been loosing weight slowly and steadily for quite some time now, but there's always a plateau of sorts that kicks in for a few weeks or even months. My last big drop was back in the spring & all of a sudden I could fit size 12 jeans. It made me happy & it made me radiate happiness. Just good vibes. Spring was good. Lots of plans & hope & loving.
For a long time in my life I would go on eating binges when I felt down. This has changed. When I feel gloomy now, I don't eat. I often have to remind myself to drink something besides coffee. The other evening I realized I had not eaten since breakfast the day before. I'm not saying this is healthy. In fact, it has caused health issues. Anyhoo. This morning, out of the blue, I decided to try a pair of size 10 pants. Pretty ambitious. Sure, I had to hold my breath to make them zip, but the zipper went all the way up. Snug, but a fit. Yay! I'm a size 10.

Oh man...that is the hard way to lose weight. I remember the "divorce diet". It can actually be cleansing, albeit in a very painful way :/
Much love to you...
Oh good, I was afraid you were going to say you were losing your mind!
