MIA

Totally MIA - totally off the radar....

After my unfill, I gained a couple of pounds back and got half of my unfill put back in, mostly because I was freaking out.  But now, I am stable and I feel good.  I am trying to hydrate more and I think I am at a good, long term place.  I stay away from that scale and actually do that crazy thing that skinny people talk about doing... you know that thing about having a pair of jeans that you try on to check yourself?  Yup, that's my trick.  The size 6 low rise from American Eagle.  When they are too loose, I eat more.  When they are too tight, I eat less.  Works well and I can ignore that piece of equipment that has graced my bathroom floor for the past 39 years.

While I have been gone, life has been going on.  People suck.  People hurt each other.  People do selfish and horribly cruel things to other people.  And worse, people hate themselves and self destruct.  I have been watching the world around me.  And while I see cruelty, I also see beauty.  I see my babies.  I see kindness.  I see love.  I see hope and possibilities.  I see new beginnings.  Spring is coming ;)

Make your journey count.  Make every minute count.  Massive weight loss is life altering.  It opens so many doors, we just need to have our eyes open and our hearts ready.
