Losing Weight Slowly

This morning I weighed 198 pounds.  A lot, right?  Especially for a woman who was 5'2" tall back in high school. 

I haven't been measured lately, but I'm guessing I may have lost height since then.

However, I haven't weighed this little in TEN years!  In 2003, I hit 200 pounds, and stayed above that weight for a decade. 

My top weight was 224 pounds.

I didn't have my picture taken very often.  I did not look in mirrors.  I seldom put on makeup.  And I did not try on clothes.    I just bought size 2X clothing on clearance sales at Wal-Mart.

I have now lost fifteen pounds in the last five months.  That is an average of only three pounds per month.

But, hey!  Fifteen pounds is FIFTEEN pounds!!!

It is fifteen pounds I will NEVER gain back.
