The other day my boss told me that I was looking "skinny". A compliment, right? Of course it is, but because I'm a thinker, I started to analyze what he said. I know that he meant it in the best possible way, but after saying thank you, I started to think....wait a minute....technically, I am still obese (yep I said it). So, if at this point in my journey I am looking skinny but I'm obese, how BIG was I before???
Don't get me wrong people, I appreciate all of the compliments, encouraging words and reports of my looking "skinny", but after thinking, I looked at some old photos and WOW!!! I was huge. This decision to get healthy and lose weight was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I don't ever want to go back to the person in those before photos again.
I'm loving the new me and look forward to seeing all of the changes that will come. One day I truly will be "skinny". :-)
Oh girl, I'm an over-analyzer too. And if you decide you don't want to go back, you won't!
