Yes, I got the kick in the butt yesterday from myself! We were headed to the DE State Fair and all my shorts that I fit easily into were in the laundry. The size 10 shorts purchased last fall as an incentive to lose those last 20# were in the drawer, and still fitting as snug as they did last fall.
I put them on anyway, DH assured me that they looked *fine*, but I didn't feel comfortable in them. Off we went to the fair, but it was during the Horse Pulling Contest that I did some people watching, and thinking. Boy there were lots of heavy, and very heavy, and way-too-heavy women, but occassionally I saw a thin, healthy looking older woman.
And that's the shape I want to be in, thin and healthy, yet for the last year---Aug '04 to now--- I have sat at this weight. Now, on one hand that's an accomplishment cause I have maintained a 40# weight loss, and EVERYONE around me knows that I low-carb the Atkins way, but I need to move to that thin, healthy looking woman that's in me.
So, I hope this is the place to post that I'm starting again, second time around.
