a positive post - WTF?...;)
Apr. 20th, 2008 09:53 pmOkay. I think it's time for an update. Or, to put it better, I'm finally ready for one. Because there are a few things that make me feel GOOD, in addition to the few that don't. And this time I choose to focus on the positives. Which are, in brief, as follows:
1) Spring has come. It was actually warm AND sunny today - maybe not for the first time this year, but somehow I really FELT it for the first time, and it was invigorating.
2) I am still losing weight. It fluctuates a lot from day to day, but it's gone below 140 lbs, and looks like it might stay there (actually, yesterday it went below 138, but I'm trying not to get too excited about it yet ;).
3) As a result of point 2, shopping for clothes is becoming an increasingly fun & rewarding activity, again.:) I remember this whiny post I made sometime in 2006, where I complained that out of about 20 pieces of clothing I had tried on, I bought only one. Well... today I tried on five, and walked out of the store with four. Including a really nice pair of gray slacks in size 10 (to replace my favorite ones, in 12, which have become way too loose & baggy) and a gorgeous blue-gray sleeveless top, which brings out my eyes in a most flattering way. Call me shallow, but sometimes little things like that do amazing wonders for my ego.;)
4) ( I am becoming increasingly fascinated with cooking. )
