we'll get there, it will just be a slower pace but the old "turtle and the hare" comes into effect with us. Last Wednesday was our 9th wedding anniversary - the only nice top I had (that wasn't a cotton t-shirt looking thing) was one I had bought for our family dinner at Christmas...we ended up going to an Asian restaurant instead of the Italian place where you really are expected to dress up, so I never wore the top. I decided since we were going out to a nice dinner I'd dress up for the occassion ... in my Christmas top. Well, it is way too big on me (and was fairly tight when I bought it) so I wore it and kept putting the shoulders back so I didn't look so frumpy. I never thought I'd ever be too small for the top but it was a nice reminder that yes, I have lost weight even though I don't see it too much in the mirror - I've lost a lot of inches but when I look in the mirror I still see a slightly smaller version of the fat lady from Christmas. I'm hoping by the end of summer I'll be down a few more pounds.

The meds we take are what makes it harder for us to loose than others. But, we are lucky that we can loose some weight, albeit slowly. I'm learning a new lesson - patience. I guess I'm having trouble learning about it so the lesson is taking longer to be taught!!! LOL!!

Have a wonderful day!
