I was out shopping with a friend of mine who is MO. I know what this is like, I just recently dropped the ‘morbidly’ part of obese– and it took about 80lbs!

Anyway, we were walking past these cute little dresses in the ‘normal sized’ section, not the plus sized bit and I went over to them and discovered that my size is in the normie section! I almost cried! There were all these cute clothes that I could wear, not things that look like muumuus… I made a fuss. I just couldn’t help it. I really wanted to do a happy dance but I refrained, just in time. I realized, then, that my friend had gotten all quiet on me.

I can imagine how hard this is for her, but in all honesty, I went through– and am still going through– a lot to get to this point and I still have a way to go, so I need these moments! I fear, at times, that our friendship may not survive this weightloss. Resentment is beginning to show and I can very seriously say that this is the first time I’ve made this kind of ‘mistake’… I’m usually very careful about what I say. Hell, even what I wear! Just so it doesn’t make me look too ’small’.

This is just one of the many dynamics that are starting to shift in my life.
