Skinny Toes

Options
For the first time in my adult life I am finally just considered "overweight" and no longer "obese." The weirdest thing isn't all the excess skin, or men who fall over themselves to open a door ... but it is my freaky, skinny toes. For as long as I can remember I had pudgy little toes. Now they are so long and thin; they are almost dainty. (Well, as dainty as you can get for a size 10 - lol!) But they are so pretty! I can't wait to paint my toenails and wear cute sandals this summer! :flowerforyou:
The rest of me is so much smaller, too. My husband can wrap his arms all the way around me now. My legs and arms are finally toned from my daily yoga routine and I have so much energy! I still don't have quite the stamina that I would like, but I am working on it. But I can't believe how strong I have become! I can lift my 25lb daughter and the 5gal water jug without any issues. I am constantly chasing after my toddler, but am no longer out of breath when I climb the stairs. I feel like a whole new person. I dance and sing in the middle of the day just out of joy. I am so grateful for this second chance at really living life!

    Congratulations! Good work! - Oh, and I recommend Revlon "cherries in the snow" if you like a good strong red for your toenails!

    Congratulations, you're doing an amazing job. I know what that feels like to be chasing after your little one and get so out of breath.

    That's great!! My high heels are too big now because I've lost weight in my feet so I can relate. And forget wearing pantyhose with 'em. My feet slip out when I walk!! I almost lost a shoe yesterday! Eek.
