Catching up with what I look like
Wednesday, July 14th 2010
I am still catching up with what I look like and am probably about 20-30 lbs larger, in my mind, than I actually am.Yesterday, after a woman my age and height left the elevator we were in, as a mental check-in, I asked my DH to tell me, honestly, wheter I am larger or smaller than the woman.
He told me I am smaller.
It kind of freaked me out because I wasn't expecting that answer. Then he started listing off some women we know in common to find ones that I am a similar size to...

Every day is a new day and ...

But I have to be careful... this is precisely the time where I need to log the most carefully because my metabolism is changing practic...
