WOW: a normal life
Yesterday I was in Columbus. After dropping the DH and our friend off for the OSU game, I went by Tuttle Crossing Mall and did a bit of shopping. Ran into LB and bought a pair of 22 jeans (the salesperson told me 22 was the "normal" size at LB and usually is very hard to keep in stock.) Got some hazelnut coffee in Godiva. Sniffed a few new lotions in Bath and Body Works but resisted the temptation. Then I got gas and went home to watch the game.
This sounds so normal because it is and that's the point. A year ago I would have never gone to a strange mall. The entire time yesterday, I never felt I was being stared at and even rode the glass elevators up to the second floor! (In the past, I would have felt a glass elevator was another name for a display case allowing everyone below to point and laugh at the fat woman.)
Earlier this week I got a roll of film back that had been in the camera for a year. I finally had visual proof and could see what others had been telling me about the dramatic change in how I look. Amazing.
