densy

First, thanks to those who read and commented on my last blog.  I really needed some support.  My daughters are, much to my surprise, looking forward to going to see their school today.  That makes such a difference in the way I feel about it as I worry when they worry! 

Now, back to that fat girl stalking me!  I am 60 pounds lighter and I am thrilled about that.  I find myself (the fat girl self), however, picking apart my body parts that still require a little work.  I know that’s ridiculous and totally self-defeating.  On the plus side, I am aware of it and how absurd it is.  So to ward off that fat girl I am going to list some of the things that I love about my “new” body.  I like the defined muscles in my arms.  I like my collar bones, especially the fact that they’re visible now!  I like that I can feel my hip bones.  I like my muscular thighs.  I like my hips (yes, I said hips - they are SO much smaller than they used to be!).  I like that I have a waist.  I like to feel the muscles in my back.  I like my curvy shape.  I like my neck.  There.  That should keep my fat girl away for awhile.  She’s got to get over this whole negativity thing.  We’d both feel so much better if she’d focus on the positive!   I think there will always be a fat girl in me, but I will no longer be her.  Seriously.
