The Greatest Week That Ever Was

It has been an awesome week. First, I break off a many months long plateau and drop nearly four pounds over five days. Then, there was a fantastic NSV at the DMV. For the first time in years, I didn’t lie about my weight to renew my license. The truth actually sounded way better than the fiction. In fact, the truth was about a 40 pound loss from the lie, which was a lie in my favor!

Then I’m showered in affection by MFPeeps and family for my birthday, including a most amazing birthday dinner.

Could this week be any better?? Well, apparently yes.

This morning I see an email from my ex. I’m thinking, ah here comes reality with sharp, pointy teeth. But it was just stuff about the coming school year. Then she replies with a “How’s the diet going?” I tell her about the recent loss, and how much more to go. She comes back with a “you should probably start changing your mindset away from weight loss. It can become an obsession.” I’m say no, I’m fine. There’s definitely still some weight to lose. I won’t go too far.

Then it comes. The NSV that ate my brain!!

She replies “But you weigh the exact same thing I do now!”

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Now I see the concern.

Bwahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I love this week.

    Bwahahahaha! That's like my NSV with my ex. He came to pick up the boys and goes "you've lost a lot of weight" in this accusatory tone. I was like, yeaaaaah, dude, and you found it all!

    You are a wonderful role model for healthy living for your girls and such a supportive friend.

    BTW…just pulled out my license, I am currently 11 lbs lighter than the lie I told the DMV.
