"just" overweight!!!
Apr 03, 2009
I'm quite excited to announce that my BMI is now officially at a level which is no longer considered obese. I'm just plain old overweight! Who knew being overweight could be so exciting?!?? Who woulda thunk that buying an extra large coat could be such a thrill!?!?!? Who could imagine that flying in a middle seat could (almost) become a pleasure?!?!!!?? Probably no normal person. But for a morbidly obese person these are all pretty grand notions... so for me it's been pretty amazing to "accomplish" these things. I think I've been obese since I was about 8 years old. That that term no longer applies to me is almost mind-boggling. I still don't have much of a concept of self. The other day someone I know told me they were a size 14, which shocked me because I fit in to a size 14 pair of jeans the other day and when I look at her I perceive someone MUCH smaller than myself. Still need to work on wrapping the brain around all this...!
