Oh to be just overweight!

Down another pound and a half today!  I am starting a 3 month Biggest Loser challenge on 3FC which should help me stay on track for at least that long.  I just realized this coming year (2009) is my next high school class reunion.  I don’t have any info about it yet, so I don’t know if I can even go, but it’s another tool to motivate me toward a healthier lifestyle.  I don’t really care what those people think of me, but I’d like to go and maybe catch up with some long-lost acquaintances.  I keep in touch with the few people I was close with in school and they are well aware or what I look like, etc.  But nobody wants to show up to something like that as “the fat chick” that people don’t even recognize.  That somehow reminds me…I am so jealous of the difference in pants or dress sizes for people who are my weight or more, but taller (sometimes much taller).  I guess I haven’t mentioned this here, but I am short (5′2″) and wear a size 18.  I now weigh 194.4 and really didn’t think much of my weight/height/pant size relationship until I got on 3FC.  OMG!  There are people on there that weigh the same as me and wear 2 or more sizes smaller than me!!  It’s like, “As if I’m not punished enough by not being able to reach things and having to have most of my pants hemmed…now I find out I wear 2-3 sizes larger than those tall ladies!!”  (Tall being anything over 5′5″, in my book).  God bless ‘em, I’m sure there’s some down side to being tall (at least there better be!).  Anyway, all just tools to motivate me to keep going and I hope when I’m a size 8, I will no longer be thinking, “I bet that tall chick is a 4.”
