I had to laugh yesterday.
So, I've lost a significant amount of weight, but I am pretty much still on the plus size of the spectrum.
I went to the cheer gym yesterday and had a reunion with a bunch of cheer moms that I haven't seen since last season. They could tell something was different about me, but it kept coming out as "I LOVE YOUR HAIR!" :)
Seriously, I must have gotten a dozen compliments on my hair yesterday. It's funny, because although my hair is longer, it really isn't all that different from last year. It's the same color and style, just longer.
I got a kick out of it. It was nice of people to notice something was different. I appreciate the compliments, even if it was on a non-existent new hair-do.
So here I am, between fat and thin. According to the medical charts, I am no longer morbidly obese. But honey, I certainly ain't all that and a bag of chips, either. It's a slow process and I'm working on it. Right now I'm struggling with work clothing being too baggy, yet when I go shopping and try on smaller sizes, they are too tight. I'm telling you, it's the in between curse!
Oh - and the wrinkles. I have broken out in wrinkles! I wish I could apply some sort of face wash like you do for acne, to treat the wrinkles away. Unfortunately, short of plastic surgery, there is nothing I can do for the wrinkles. I have all sorts of creams and serums and treatments in my bathroom -- but in the end, it's all a gimmick. There is no magic bottle or magic pill.
I'm pretty bummed that I wrecked my body in that way. If I wouldn't have gotten so heavy, then I wouldn't have to choose between being fat and wrinkle free or smaller and pruney.
At least I have fabulous hair.
<wink>
