WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
NEW JEANS!!!
SIZE ....8!!!
Can you tell I'm thrilled????
Can you tell I'm totally in disbelief???
How can this happen? I don't understand... My head can't get around this... Last February I was wearing size 24 jeans as I had for the last 5+ years. 22's before that forever.. 20's for a bit... 18's forever...
How can I be down to a size 8???
I didn't wear 8's when I was in 8th Grade! I was probably a 12-14.
this is making my head swim...
BUT I LIKE IT!!!

Last Feb JEllenator was a 24
She didn't want to be there no mo'
She went to get her stomach fixed
And now she having major kicks
It's all just making her beautiful head swim
But JEllenator's light will never dim
Today she's sportin' a little size 8
We're jumping for joy because's it's great!
WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO! OK, it was quick but it'll do. Just imagine a drum track behind it.
hugs, Y

Oh Thanks so much both of you !!!!
THANKS Yvonne for your lovely little poem!
(Thanks to your little Super Bowl tribute I CAN visualize you signing & dancing!) hahaha
this is just thrilling... a thrill a minute....
Today I went into the 2nd hand store and they had a couple of things BRAND NEW - TAGs on them... one a beautiful lime green linen top- I paid $9.00.
a $290.00 suit NEW Tags on it.... $35.00--- THAT is a size 6!
But I figure I've have 25-maybe 30 to go - 30 if i want to be -5 from goal. So that should fit. Besides if it doesn't I could easily sell it for $50.00. just leaving those tags in place until - I see if it works or not.
Oh... any my size 8 jeans.... I'm taking them BACK in the morning...
Oh - they fit just fine.... but for some reason... my 10 Petites are LONG enough but I noticed today - THIS pair of 8 Petites are just a little TOO SHORT when sitting. Standing they are perfect. Must be they got cut or hemmed shorter than the other Petites that I have bought in the past...??? Brand maybe I don't know...
So going back for 8 AVERAGE!

I'll never understand sizing but for now... when it comes to jeans I'll be sticking with "Average" unless i never want to sit down in Petites!
I can wear Petite skirts & tops because of not having a long torso. but... with the jeans apparently I need the tiny little bit of extra lenght. ah well - live & learn....
just me.. 24 - 2 - 6- 2-4...
(hmmmm... that reminds me of an "old song" by Chicago!)
I didn't think it was about clothing sizes!!!!

and here it is:
Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4
Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4
Another thing that I'll never understand.... how does that brain of mine work.... so very strange...
bed is the answer must sleep! NOW
nite nite all

JEllenator carries on only like JEllenator can! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO
UNSTOPPABLE!!

Yvonne, my dear friend, I have warned you many a times about how strangely my mind works...
and at this stage of the game that isn't going to stop...
It the way my Dad trained my brain... He was a huge Fan of RUBE GOLDBERG... one thing just leads to another...
never know where a simple train of thought will lead me - or how I got there! all happens in an instant!
Well it keeps things interesting for my husband anyway..
Sometimes he just looks at me and shakes his head...
