Good Day, All!

First of all, I'd like to welcome spryng to our SAHM's thread. I'm glad that you joined us. I've been pretty rude lately & have just been reading the posts without replying. This isn't normally like me, (just ask Ginny). It's just that I've been so, so busy & this time of year I tend to really stress out & to top it off, PMS has just joined me for a few days! I promise to log in more after the new year. I'd like to address you more personally, but not enough time right now. Please forgive me, okay? Ginny: I have another snowmobile trailer story for you, but you'll have to wait until the next time that I post because I need to pick up dd from school right now. Until later, take care & again, Welcome, Spryng

Hi!
Yes, Spryng, I suppose you are right. I have to get rid of all of those fatty clothes! I just found a great place nearby my house too that will accept donations and provide a receipt for income taxes. Better yet, they complete the receipt (estimated value and all!) which is a pain when I donate to the Salvation Army.
Soooooooo after Christmas, bye bye to some clothes. Even those new size mediums pants that I bought in the fall (just before I got really serious about this weight loss thing).
And, forgive me for sounding puffed up, but I got a bit dressed up for Dd's Christmas concert tonite, and honestly I thought that I was beginning to look normal!!!!!:) You know- earlier all I saw was fat, and now I am starting to see a person first! I guess that the 160 threshold was really pivotal for my height (5'4 1/5")- because I am now just a plain fatty and not obese anymore. (as though that is something to rejoice about?:dizzy: ) Do you have a dress/gown for the January wedding? You are really going to mess up some dressmakers measurements, losing 10 or so pounds this month, but why not!!! I hope that you get to your goal, and it sounds like you are well on your way. As for me and size, I would guess that I am a 14- especially on top. I have an "apple" body (ask Jackie and she will tell you that I am more like a nut!) and am top heavy, but not terribly. So I do carry most of my fat on my chest/abdomen. I just got rid of my size 16 jeans, and already my 14's are fitting baggier in the thighs.
I would be thrilled to end up a size 10, which is where I will be at around 130#.
Jackie- ok, so you admit to lurking out there,reading posts, listening to me babbling on and on all by myself and NOT doing anything to spare me from myself!!!!!!!!!!!! Let alone the rest of the poor folks who put up with my antics! Well, my friend, I am just happy to hear from you, glad that you are ok and hope that you will find more time to check in and say hello. And I can't wait to read your latest story!!!!!!!!
Gotta scoot.
I am going to start thread #23. You know how obsessive I get about having to read more than one page! See y'all there, and have a great nite.
Ginny
