1- I don't have eyeliner below my eyes anymore. I credit this to not having such a chubby face.... my cheeks don't shove up so far to leave that mark below where it should be!
2- For the same reason - I don't have as much "sleep" in my eyes anymore. Ever! It's crazy!
3 - Knees are painful! I don't know if all of you "skinny" people have this problem, but when I try to sleep on my side at night, my bony knees touch eachother and it hurts! Ouch! I have to cross my leg over and onto the bed to avoid the pain. Weird.
Those are just a few of the little things I have noticed lately. It's a little odd. On the fun side, you wouldn't believe what I did for the first time in at least 15 years! ..... listen up....
There I was, at Kern Radiology for a CT Scan on my back (from accident last year). They made sure I had filled out all the paperwork properly, then started to show me to the dressing room. I am always prepared for this... I always ask for 2 gowns... one for the front, and one for the back. Those of you who may not have weight issues may not be aware, but you see, those of us who are bigger know that one gown will not cover all of us. We always need 2, one to put on like they ask, then the other, like a "robe" to cover our backside. Well, that was what I was waiting for the other day. But what happened was absolute insanity.... she handed me a pair of pants! WHAT???!!! Pants? who knew?! Well, she did. She gave me the pants, and one gown. hmmmmm I thought about saying something, but I thought, well, I'll try it, I guess you never know... and I sure didn't know. They fit! They slipped on easily, and I even had to tie the waist! Craziness!! It was wonderful. Strange still, yes. But wonderful!
I have not been losing huge amounts of weight, but I am down to 213-215. I haven't been this small is so many years, I can't even remember when. I am enjoying each step of this journey, and look forward to being able to exercise and really get myself into the kind of physical condition I need to be in to live my life to it's fullest. I do not have any regrets at all.
I know I have mentioned my favorite yogurt, so I am attaching a picture for all of you just in case you want to try it :)
I hope all of you are doing well in your journeys. Remember to find the joy and fun in all aspects of the path you are on. Smiling and laughing burns calories!
