I don't have 10 things but I have some... I can wear my ankelettes without the fat leg extentions. I bought a size 18 skirt..I know I already wore an 18/20...but this one wasn't a plus size! I can exersice for two hours with out getting winded!!!!!!! I have an unbelievible amount of affection for my husband. It is almost trippled what it was. Yeahhhh babie!!!!!!!!!! The purpose God has for my life is becoming more and more clear. I know that he saved my life so I could be about my Father's buisness. I Thank God for that!!!! I look forward to all of the other things that will improve over time. There are more but just to many to list. The Irish Lassie

The things that make me do a happy dance as of late: I am back in my pre-pregnancy jeans!! Even if I see people looking at me in a restraunt...I love the look of their face when they see how much I eat! I can talk myself out of impulse eating and cravings. I never before had the ability or will power to refuse myself a "treat" of chocolate or something before! I feel so much better! I sleep better, even if I'm sleeping more, but when I'm awake I'm UP UP UP! The thought of traveling across country next week doesn't send my mind into a plan of how to discretely ask for a seatbelt extension. If I need one still, I know it will be the LAST time I'll need one, since my next trip won't be until June and by then I know I'll be able to fly without one. The thought of summer swimsuit season doesn't make me dread wearing a swimsuit, instead I dread how much I'm going to spend on swimsuits this year as they outgrow me. Lissa

I wore some jeans, that I had stored away for years ( I have lost 10 inches off my waist) 3.
