Good morning.
Well, when I left you on Friday, it was a flux up. Today I've fluxed back down, which makes me so happy because I haven't had a weekend in almost a month where I haven't gained.
Things are slowing down on my end. I'm having a hard time dropping pounds, but I do have to say that walking is really helping me regulate everything. And keep everything toned.
I feel like my frame has gotten smaller, LOL, even though I know that isn't physically possible. But I feel smaller. I know, it's about inches and not simply the number on the scale, but I want the number to be small. Is that so wrong?
People now tell me now that I don't look like I weigh 150lbs, and before the told me that I didn't look like I weighed 200lbs (which I totally did. I looked back at old facebook pictures and I so looked 200lbs!) But because America is such an obese nation, is our outlook skewed on weight? Yes, fashion magazines have plastered stick thin models on the cover every month, but has the Biggest Loser desenstized us to the fat that unless you are morbidly obese, you're just normal? I can tell you that at 200lbs, and only standing 5"3, I did not feel or look normal. I looked 7 months pregnant, and when you're a 26 year old girl who is NOT pregnant, that's the last thing you want to hear. I want to know what 150lbs looks like on a person. Or is that something some just says to be nice?
Sorry for my philosophical journal entry so early this morning. I didn't eat much this weekend, our apartment was taken over by a handyman named Gary. I'll save that story for another day.

Great job on the loss. I've been getting the same comments as you mentioned. I went to donate blood and I wanted to give double red cells (you have to be 150lbs to do that) and the nurses were all shocked when I told them I met the weight requirement. I suppose it's because I am taller (5'8"), but you're right, how can you tell what 150lbs or 160lbs looks like on a person? We all carry it differently. Your progress is amazing, though. Great work!

I have to say, when we met, and you were standing outside ST, I didn't think it was going to be you 'cause the girl standing there (YOU) was to skinny - and it ended up being you! But I know what you mean, I weigh 121 lbs right now, and personally, I don't think I look that small. Maybe its just how we see ourselves, and not hows others see us, I don't know. I know I'm way to hard on myself, and I think you probably are too, but if we are not hard on ourselves, we won't lose the weight..... catch 22 I guess! Just take everything in stride, and it will be all good. So when are we going to Casa??? (~;

Lol... can't wait to hear the handyman story! You are doing so well. You definitely look smaller in your profile pic than in your old one. I just noticed you are going to Jamaica soon. What an awesome place to be looking forward to going!

Love the new profile pic. You look beautiful. It is so hard to deal with our brains. There's that voice that always says we're not small enough. I know I get into periods when I tend to drift towards the celebrity pics, etc., online and those always get me depressed. Like the ones of Gisele post-baby and where Heidi Klum is talking about getting back into her size 4 jeans at 6 ft tall, etc etc. Yuck. It's kind of like a yoga class--I am telling myself--you have to not look at how others are doing but how YOU are doing. THis isn't even what you were talking about, lol, but it's sort of related.
