Um, OH doesn't have a big enough grin smiley for this one...
Dear, beloved lightweights...
OK. So I admit that it's been a while since I weighed myself. I decided to step away from the scale for the Christmas season since the studios are closed and I can't go to ballet.
Well...
Something told me to weigh myself this morning...
and I weighed ONE HUNDRED FORTY FIVE POUNDS!!!
I weighed myself three times just to check (it's my version of pinching myself). And it still said it! 145.0. Wow.
So while I was doing the happy dance for a minute, that sunk in.
I cannot ever remember weighing anything in the 140s.
I do recall weighing 130 (in the 8th grade after I was sick with the chicken pox, which I only remember because my mom put me on a diet once I got better and 130 was my starting weight. She wanted me down to 115. I don't think that happened, in fact, I think I gained.)
I recall weighing 150 (and higher). 150 was the lowest weight I reached in college when I was on Jenny for a year. I felt pretty good at that weight, though I wanted to be smaller, too.
But the 140s were never a weight range I recall seeing on the scale. I'm a bit flabbergasted, really. Flummoxed. Perplexed. But...happy.
This fulfills my Holiday Challenge (Revised) Goal of being in the 140s by January 1. I had initially set it at the 130s, but the 140s are going to be just fine.
So after I thought of all these things, I then remembered that 145 is the high range OF A NORMAL WEIGHT for my height (5'4).
What? Could I really be normal?
This is insane. ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
I'm going nuts over here from this Christmas miracle (I really do think of it that way) and all I can really feel is head over heels GRATITUDE.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for the help you've given me. Thank you for the lifeline. Thank you for the companionship on the journey.
(You might be wondering, am I talking to you or to God? The answer is both. Gratitude works that way, really, since I believe all good things - including good people - come from God.)
Thank you.
PS - I'll post a picture after New Year's. We're having a fun gathering with friends who haven't seen me in months, and I'm going to wear something FABULOUS! (To be determined...)
