But that would be counter productive. See, I realized that I now weigh the same as when I got married, so I pulled out some clothes from then. Put on some 11/12 pants that I liked, and they fit! Comfortable even. So I'm wearing them now and feeling pretty good. Although I'm still a long way from where I want to be, I'm trying to also enjoy how far I've gotten to this point because it wasn't so long ago that I wasn't sure I'd ever see even this point again. I feel like "Monica" must feel on "Friends" after any episode where she has to wear her fat suit for a flashback. That is to say, I feel like I'm taking off my fat suit and am able to be more myself again. I know that this is all mental, and maybe I could've come out of this funk without loosing weight, but this is certainly making it easier and making the whole world look a little more rosie.
Also contributing to my brighter out look on life is that I actually got up this morning for a quality quiet time in a quality quiet place. Since I got my bookshelves finished in my library and had equipped it with a comfy chair and a lamp it was almost enough incentive to get me out bed early. I said, ok God, you wake me up and I'll get up. So He did and it was lovely to have a whole hour to sit and sip coffee and read and pray. I feel much more prepared for my day and life in general.
If you've never done a yoga shoulder stand, you should try it. Yeah, you look pretty funny and it's not easy, but it's very fun once you get it.
