I've lost a 2nd grader

We had a function at church today, and someone asked how much weight I've lost so far. When I said 72 pounds, a young girl who is in 2nd grade said "WOW! That's how much I weigh!" So, I've lost the equivalent of a 2nd grader! I tried to pick her up to just see what 72 pounds I've lost felt like, and I couldn't do it.
It really brought home to me just how much I've lost and made me feel better. I needed that today because the stupid scale was up 1.4 pounds this morning since 2 days ago when I weighed last. I'm so tired of this water weight, glycogen weight, etc. etc. etc. making the scale go up/down/up/down/up/down
But anyway, it felt good to see this girl standing there as an actual physical representation of how much weight I've lost :happy: No wonder my knees, ankles, hips, and back all feel better now!
