I stepped on the scale this morning and I weighed 135. That puts me into normal BMI for the first time in about 14 years!! Sunday, I weighed in for the first time in several weeks at 137 but I had eaten Chinese food for 2 days previously and my doctor changed my bowel medicine so I think it's real! Yay!! I was so excited I woke my husband up and made him come look at the scale!! As far as being normal goes, I will just start here and work my way up to completely normal. Ha-ha

Now, I agree, normal feels fantastic...the really HARD part is convincing your brain that what you see in the mirror is normal. I still see FAT.

I have been so blessed by so many people telling me how hot I look that I accept the image in the mirror as just right. My coworkers, friends and family have been very supportive. I know that isn't always the case. I know how lucky I am.

GOOD for them...I wish more people who knew me obese would say something...one way or the other...most just ignore my weight loss. My daddy is an exception...he's always thrilled for me. :)

In our politically correct society sometimes people are just too worried that even a positive comment is out of line. Luckily for me, I'm not PC nor do I own a "filter" so people that know me feel comfortable enough to say anything to me.

I'm not worried about my friends but one would think FAMILY would be okay with saying something about my losing weight. My sister who has known me HER entire life (she's younger than me by 3 1/2 years) should know what a big deal it is for me...but no, not a word!

Dh's cousin (who grew up like a sister) is the same way with him...doesn't say anything about how much he has lost.

I honestly believe some of it is jealousy but it's NOT like most of them can't afford to do something...they just haven't decided it's worth it to them so they stay obese. Even my stepmother who is the queen of outspoken stopped saying anything once I got to her size.

As the song says, "people throw rocks at things that shine.". Screw 'em. I think you look awesome!
