Note to self

Just for future reference. . .

Being thin again is awesome.  Freaking awesome.  Opening two boxes of new clothes without thinking “please don’t let these be too small” over and over in a little chant to myself is fantastic. Trying on those new clothes and finding that many are actually a size too big is amazing. Looking in the mirror at a woman in a two-piece bathing suit without a lump or bulge in sight, and being able to think to yourself that she could easily wear that on a beach – in public – without a qualm (and you know this because you watched that woman jump up and down and squat down (like you would playing in the sand with a toddler) in the mirror just to make sure) is unbelievable.  Knowing that not only can I wear all of these clothes now and not ten pounds from now, but also that I look good in them already?  Incomprehensible.

Please send me this if you see me eating chocolate chip cookies.  Or ice cream (the kind with sugar – you’ll want to leave me alone if I’m suffering through my sugar-free excuse for “dessert”).  Or pizza.  You see where I’m going with this, I think.
