Three years out.
I've been meaning to tell you that I've been working on using 'Zaftig-a-licious' in everyday conversations. It's not as easy as it looks. I did manage to work it in to a sentence one night when I was out with the girls (yes, alcohol was involved) and you should have seen the looks on their faces! Worth the price of admission alone.
I saw your post and thought *GOODY*. I always love reading your stuff. The part where you said everything has changed couldn't be more true, and it's difficult to explain to those who haven't been through it.
I've had pretty much the same experiences as you with diet, food & regain. I'm up about 5-8 pounds and that's where my body seems to want to be. Anything below that is just too much effort and I'm happy where I am. I NEVER THOUGHT THOSE WORDS WOULD COME OUT OF MY MOUTH.
Mwha - I just lub me some of YOU!

Yay! Leslie!
Hahaha I LOVE that you used it! Do you remember the sentence? I'm dying to know what came flying out of your mouth lubricated by a few ****tails.
I'm really glad you said that about being 5-8 up, but happy--that's something I meant to say, but forgot to: that not fighting my body every single day in order to stay at some number on a chart is SO worth a few extra pounds. I don't wake up every day feeling like it's a struggle anymore, and I was finally able to just own my happiness and success, even if I'm still a chubby (zagtig-a-licious, thank you) girl.
That's why the numbers stopped being important to me--thanks for the reminder!
I lub me some of you, too!

I used it in reference to this absolutely gorgeous, confident woman on the dance floor. She OWNED it. I was actually rather mesmerized by her and pointed her out to my friends and said, 'my, she's ZAFTIG-A-LICIOUS!' I had to 'splain the meaning and origin and we all had a great time with it. I dared them to try to use it and so far no reports.
There are situations - admittedly they are few and far between - where it's spot on, but you have to look for them. =D

Yes! That was the perfect opportunity for it! Well done!
It's one of those cir****tantial things, for sure. But MAN I love to use it when I can!
