I am sitting in Nordie's Bistro and was just beating myself up because the "Not your daughter's jeans", dress slacks and blouse that I just bought, are not size 10 but are 12 petite ( I am a shorty: 5"3).
I had to give myself a stern talking to.
In 2009, I was in size 22's. Yep, not only short but short and fat.
I hope that does not offend anyone but for me, there are no euphuisms. It is exactly what I was.
I am not thin, maybe if I had larger breasts, I could be considered voluptuous. I don't know exactly what I am, other than hypercritical of myself.
I am back where I was after I lost 50 pounds. My cholesterol is staying at 170, from the high of 270, even after stopping the Lipitor.
Self-acceptance.
Even more difficult than losing weight.
