Wednesday Morning in Pennsylvania
I woke up with a headache this morning, so I'm moving pretty slow and I'm still in my pjs. May go back to bed here in a minute. I'm glad Benny is in school today. I need a little down time.
Yesterday we went to the Outlet Mall and it was the perfect day for it. Cool weather and no crowds! I got a great fitting pair of jeans at NY & Co. Size 16, and I am quite pleased. If this is what I am, I'm okay with it. My weight seems to have stablized at 177. Okay, I'm fine with that. Yes, it would be nice to be a size 12 or 14 again, but I'm tall enough to carry a size 16. I'm just thrilled to be shopping in normal sizes again.
I was very happy that Chris and I had such a good day together. We needed it. I don't know if it's the prozac or what, but things have settled out (for the moment, at least) and we are getting along again.
Prayers and good thoughts to everyone this morning. My head hurts too much for me to remember all the individual requests this morning, but I hold you all close in my heart. Love you all!

Vickie....so sorry you have a nasty headache this morning. Hope that goes away soon!!
I am glad you and Chris had a good day together yesterday. I hope it stays that way!!
You do not look like you are a size 16.....I thought you were not more then a 10. Not that 16 is bad because it isn't. You just look so thin!! You are lucky to have height. I am short and I hate it.....thus stiletto heels all the time!
How does Benny like preschool?? Most all kids just love it!!
My Gracie loves Kindergarten. She would go 7 days a week if she could!!
Keeping you always in my thoughts and prayers!!
Love and many hugs....connie d
No, seriously, I'm okay with being a size 16. I'm 5'10" tall and I can carry it off. My butt and thighs are skinny now. My middle is still a big bit. I wish I could get rid of my gut! But I compensate by not wearing anything with a defined waistline, and I don't tuck in my shirts. I'm an expert at "camo"! LOL!
The sad part is that I still weigh 40 lbs more than I did when I got married. Back then I thought I was fat because I was a size 12! I have NEVER been a size 10 in my whole life. I'm what some people kindly call "big boned". LOL! I have to confess, I've always more thought of myself as the Jolly Green Giant. Petite, I am not.
So, it's kind of a kick for me to be told I'm skinny now. Several people at the family reunion a couple of weeks ago told me I was skinny. I just take it with a grain of salt, and also I do NOT take it for granted. "There, but for the grace of God, go I" sort of thing, you know?
I thought you looked good in the pics. I could never wear those heels you had on! I would tower over everyone for sure then. I always have to wear flats. But I thought they looked good on you.
Love ya!

At 5'10" you look perfect to me!!!!!! Size 16 looks good on you!!! Sounds like you know how to dress to hide those no so favorite areas. We ALL have to do that after 50.
Two of my granddaughter's are at least that tall. I tell them to stand up straight, be proud and they do just that. Tall looks so 'regal' to me.
I'm only 2" taller than when I was 10 years old and towered over everybody. So I have it in my head that I am HUGE. 5"2" - ha ha - only tall in my head. My Uncle Joe used to tell me & Mom to "sue the city for building the sidewalk so closes to your a$$".

I have a DD 5'10"+ and one ~6' (she says 5'11"). She had no problem standing tall AND wearing heels. That girl has all her AND my self confidence.
BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
You however are a role model for me....I envy your tiny, tiny body!!! I hope to get back to that soon. I feel just HUGE!!!
Love your Uncle Joe....so funny!!!!!!
Love you more....HUGS.....connie d
You do look so beautiful....I am not just saying that!! Your middle is not even a little big. I wish I looked like you!!
I am only 5'3 1/2" and I hate it!!!! Skinny legs and huge boobs. I had breast reduction years ago. I am still more then ample!!
I have to lose this extra weight...UGH!!!
I love you too....HUGS....connie d
Thanks Connie!
I just hate the fact that Vicodin makes me so darn hungry! I take 3-4 of 5mg a day. But I have an appt. soon with my doctor and will talk to him!
Hugs, Debbie
