holy smokes!
so i've just been kinda going on with my life now that i can eat real food again. and today i happened to sign on to look at my ticker widget, and i am HALFWAY to my (what i thought) insane goal weight of 125!
i went to an event last week where they were selling t-shirts and i thought i'd get one since i would actually fit into one. i bought large thinking that it would be a nice reward when i lost a little more weight. surprise! it already fits! i wear it every night now just so i can enjoy it.
i went through my closet and dresser and packed up all my clothes that were too small--and there were a LOT. i also found that all my t-shirts i had been holding on to from high school and college, from community service events or theater are way too big. i set them aside and am going to make some sort of quilt/blanket out of them...because i just can't get rid of them.
i am feeling so good right now--enjoying excerising for the first time EVER. and 3 days ago i finally reached my last stage of food progression so now i can eat raw vegetables and nuts. life is pretty good :D

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Secondly - can I tell you how much I am in LOVE with the idea of the quilt with your important to big clothes? OMG - that is fanfreakingtastic!!!
I actually did that with my wedding dress - tried selling it - nobody wanted it - so I took it to a friend and asked if she could make a quilt for me - it was heavy satin so I knew it would be beautiful - I cried when I saw what she made - it was so beautiful - she also made 3 heart shaped pillows out of the material and I gave the quilt to my daughter and each granddaughter got one of the pillows, which I'm hoping they'll use someday to carry their wedding rings.
You'll have to post pictures of your quilt - I think that is an awesome idea!! And much continued success to you, too.
