Look at me!! I can't tell you how surprised I am that I actually was able to do this, and it's working! I've lost almost 30 pounds, more than half way there, when I thought last year I was doomed to be a old round woman. I was seeing clothes at the store and judging them by "would a round old lady wear this?" or "this…

thing that used to offend me
things that used to offend me now motivate me. I was in the bus terminal a couple of weeks back waiting for my bus and I was eating chocolate covered raisins. A man sitting beside me, and talking on his cell phone, reached his hand out and gestured for me to give him one! After he was off his cell phone we began talking…

Smaller jeans :)
I'd just like to share my mini success with you lovely people. Today I decided to try on a smaller pair of jeans today and they fit me :D A little tight on the legs but that's probably because I'm so used to my normal jeans being so baggy on me! I'm a very happy bunny right now :D
