• Wheeeeeee!

  I hit 25
  pounds today! I was so jazzed! I couldn't stop grinning and dancing all
  day! I know that there are better ways of reckoning weight loss, but
  there is something so satisfying seeing those numbers creep down. I
  LOVE the fact my clothes are too big for me and I am just about ready
  to go try on my faire garb and see how loose it all is!  *LOL*

  I
  keep seeing myself in October going to my local Renaissance Faire and
  seeing my faire family for the first time in a year. *GRINS* I can't
  wait to see my ex-husband's face, when he sees me for the first time...
  and my bards...and all my family. THIS is what I picture when I am
  walking for an hour on my treadmill...me in brand new Garb, with my
  hair longer, walking around faire as if I owned it. 

  I
  know, that sounds awful, but my sense of myself has grown, and I no
  longer walk around with my head bent down, staring at the sidewalk. I
  face life head on now! Head held high and usually with a smile on my
  face.  I love who I am and who I am becoming, and that is something I
  NEVER thought I would hear myself say.

  It
  is not just the weight loss, mind you...that is actually gravy. This
  has been coming since long before my divorce. All the experiences I
  have had over the past 12 years have led me to where I am now,
  including the gift of my marriage and divorce. 

  Wow, if I am this giddy at 25 pounds, I cannot WAIT to see me at 50! *grins* 

  Love, Light and Laughter,
  Amethyst
