Default A Small WOW

I went to take my daughter by a friend's house to give her a birthday gift. My daughter has played ball and been friends with her for years. When we go in, the little girl's mom just goes on and on saying how "skinny" I have gotten. Even the little girl's grandmother comes over and says "surely you aren't going to lose any more weight. I just looked at her and grinned and told her that I wanted to lose about 30 more pounds. She said "Where? You would shrivel up and blow away."

Last night, I was telling my husband about it and my eyes teared up. A year ago, do you think I would have ever thought that someone would be telling me that I was skinny and that I didn't to lose any more weight. I only wish we saw ourselves like others see us. I am definitely WAY closer to my goal than I was a year ago, but I'm far far from skinny.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Christy that is so cool! It must have felt incredible to be called skinny- hopefully your brain will catch up with it all soon!

You're brain will catch up to everyone else's eyes eventually! It'll tak ea while. But you're doing such a great job and people are just trying to acknowledge that!
P.S. My nickname at work from one of my co-workers - 'slim'. It's not true, but it's nice to hear!
