QUIT GROWIN'!!!!

My baby is SIX today! I took this pic back in December. I need to take some more.

I can't believe my baby is six. What happened to the giant baby in NICU?

SOMETHING is happening!!!

I went shopping with one of my girlfriends yesterday. She got me into a Ross and I DIDN'T have an anxiety attack, which was amazing in and of itself. She also convinced me to try on a pair of size 16 shorts. I didn't think they'd fit, after all, I was wearing a size 20 at the time. I tried them anyway.

THEY FIT!!!

I also ended up getting a pair of size 16 Addidas shorts for running, and size 16 yoda pants. YAY!

One of the wonderful ladies on a message board that I post at had sent me a big box of jeans, almost all size 16, and almost all Levi's. I lived in Levi's when I was a kid. I held up a pair last night and was doubtful. They just looked SMALL. Meh. I tried them on anyway.

THEY FIT TOO!!! OK, so I had the massive muffin top going on, but the shirt I was wearing hid it, so as long as I'm wearing the right shirt it should be OK. But I DIDN'T have to lay down to zip them up, so to me, that counts as fitting.

So even though I've stalled at 28 lbs loss, apparently I'm still dropping in size.

Oooh, I bought some 16 capri's back in February when I was visiting my mom...I wonder if they'll fit now....I'm gonna go try them on! Hehehe...back to shopping in my closet! Maybe I should actually CLEAN it.

I ate FOOD last night!!!

We went to the Bricktown Brewery to meet up with the OH Oklahoma group for dinner. I ordered the California Club sandwich, NO BREAD (got a funny look from the waitress for that) and had a little bit of French Onion soup with it. NOM. OK, so the turkey was just plain old salty lunchmeat, but it was FOOD. SOLID FOOD. I only had a few spoonfuls of the soup, then passed it on to Beth, but I ate almost an entire wedge of avocado, and about 1/4 of the turkey & cheese. I also took all the lean off the bacon and ate that. NOM. It was SO FREAKIN' GOOD.

Best part? It didn't hurt at all. I can't eat scrambled eggs for some reason, they end up hurting my colon where the diverticulits hurt, but the turkey went down beautifully.

I never thought I'd be so excited over eating lunchmeat. LOL
