under 200!

As of this week's weigh-in, I am officially under 200 pounds.  It feels great, but also sort of surreal. To tell the truth, I never really thought I would get here. It's not that I didn't think I could, it's that it never really occurred to me that it would ever actually happen. It's like walking on the moon - not something that I spend a lot of time imagining, or thinking it's realistically in my future. I've been above 200 for my whole adult life (I guess I'm going to have to stop saying that now!) and it was my norm. I guess I have a new norm now, but it hasn't really sunk it yet.

(no subject)

I was looking in the back of my closet for warm clothes that will actually fit. I pulled out this shirt that I've had for ages, and it actually fit. Then I noticed that it had a name tag sewn into it, from when I went to sleep away camp! The last time I went I was 16!

When I was 16 I thought I was the hugest thing in the world, and now I'm thrilled to be back at that size. Life is odd.
