Well.. I went to the family 4th of July party today….
When I first walked in, my father said ‘Where’s the rest of you?’
Then he hugged me and made a point of putting his arms all the way around me– for the first time!
Then I was standing out in the yard watching for the parade and a girl I graduated came up to me and (are you ready?) said I was ’so THIN’. Me! Thin! (I’m hardly thin, but much thinner than I was!)
My cousin didn’t recognize me.
I wore this little sundress (I’ll post pics as soon as I can! Took lots!) with a little jacket over it… I was told I looked very ‘Jackie O.’ HUGE compliment for me…. when I took the jacket off because it got warm my sister (yes the one who is so negative) tugged on my Dad’s sleeve and said ‘LOOK at her!’
My aunt told me I looked fabulous and asked me how I was feeling… I think she may consider the surgery next…
Woohoo!
No one fussed over what I ate but a friend of my sister’s… and when I ignored her advice she left me alone.
So all in all, it was a great day and I’m so glad I went!
