Ladies, I DID IT !!!!!

Weighed myself today...165.

December of 2000 I was 265 !

Oh my GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I 'knew' something was going to be good about my weight today, because yesterday I weighed a flat 166, and went clothes shopping. I haven't worn tank tops in over 15 years, but yesterday bought two STRING HALTER TOPS - HALTER TOPS!!! - and a pair of shorts. We went to Border's Book's where, Hey Shawna !!!! - I bought The Fat Girl's Guide to Life, a couple of CD's ( new OutKast and a chick named Jem who sounds like a cross between Dido and Sarah McLachlan)and the new Maxim mag with the top 100 hotties (I love Maxim - it's like Cosmo for men, but I like it anyway.)

I had this feeling I should be rewarding myself for something, although at the time I did not know what. We went to din din at Uno's and I had a steak and shrimp, some salad, buffalo wings....I had yogurt for breakfast and a very light lunch while shopping because I knew we were going to eat out.

And the scale said 165 today.

First of all, I want to THANK ALL OF YOU that have been supportive, welcoming, and friendly - you make my day so much brighter and funnier, CERTAINLY more entertaining and I feel that as we all have something in common (BZZT!Sorry Karrie!)and we can relate to each other. I don't think this would have been as easy for me over the past few weeks if I didn't have someplace to go and vent about the size of my butt, my over-achiever dietician who I keep at arm's length, and food food food glorious food.

THANK YOU ! You guys are the best.

Amy, who is positively barking her head off right now.

Not only did I go shopping but I got stuff I wouldn't even wear 15 years ago !!!

I have never owned a halter top, esp. one that has a built in 'support band' and ties at the neck with beaded string. I feel NAKED in this, but my boyfriend is dying for it to be warmer so I can wear it out. As long as he does NOT hump my leg in public, fine.

Thanks Bren !
