Topic: Quote of the Day

	Attitude is an important part of the foundation upon which we build a productive life. A good attitude produces good results, a fair attitude fair results, a poor attitude poor results. We each shape our own life, and the shape of it is determined largely by our attitude.
	- M. Russell Ballard

Topic: Holy Moly! Size 10 jeans!!!!!

That's right!!!!! Size 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started this journey, not even being able to fit into 28/30 jeans. At my biggest I was wearing black stretchy pants every freakin day!

And now, 13 1/2 months later, I am in a size 10 in jeans and a Medium/Large in shirts, as opposed to a 4x, before! I just can't even express what that means. I know it shouldn't be the number that matters, but I am thinking more about the implications of the number...

Size 10 and Medium/Large means....

I am a "normal" size.
I can go into MOST stores and find clothes to fit me.
It means, I have lost 182 pounds.
It means I have reclaimed my life!
It means my ass is MUCH smaller, haha
It means I am able to train for a run in the Spring! A RUN!
It means......I can take a sigh of relief....I don't have to worry about being fat anymore....

That last one is amazing to me...I used to worry so much. I worried about clothes and chairs and booths and how far I'd have to walk and how much pain I'd be in and how uncomfortable I'd feel....

Life is good. I am soooo blessed.

Have a great day, everyone! =)
