Just Overweight

Finally, no longer obese. Wow. I'm happy. I can't fit into my normal pants now (baggy!!) so I took out jeans I wore last before my children were born, more than 25 years ago. Yup, that was an era without stretch jeans. I thought, would never get them on but let's try anyhow. Well, definitely snug but they fit. Yay. I can't believe it. And with that pair since no give to the denim, it isn't a matter that they stretch to accommodate me.

I guess it is time to review the clothes in my closet again to pull out more things for donation. Baggy shirts and sweaters still are okay but my pants are so baggy I can't even fake it with a belt.

That's awesome, Doyenne! Great job! 6 more pounds and I'll be overweight! Sounds weird to outsiders that we would be excited about being overweight! hahaha

How awesome! I've been so happy, throughout my loss, when I've reached a "just" status. Just obese! Woo! Just overweight! Woo! And felt weird because this is like cheering because "I'm only sort of fat!" Whatever - I love every goal along the way and every reclaimed bit of health I can get :)

Sorry about the question marks. OH hates apostrophes and quotation marks.

Must have multiple causes. Mine started last week with iOS11. Annoying as I never realized how many apostrophes and quotation marks I used until they all turned to question marks!

It had been doing it prior when text was copy/pasted. So I think it's a issue of the straight looking apostrophes/quotation marks versus the curved looking ones, if that makes sense. The curved ones come out as question marks. So it's probably got to do with ASCII/Unicode encoding issue
