as of today, i have 100 lbs left to lose.  im closer now to acheiving my goal weight than i have been in more than 5 years.  i mean, ive lost 67 lbs since december...thats not bad, right? 

yesterday i asked my mom, who was already going to walmart, to pick me up a pair of leggings.  i told her that when i had gone to a different store earlier, they had a size 2x, which wasnt what i wanted.  she said, "oh, you need 3x?" and i said, "no, xl."  what followed was 5 minutes of her not believing me about the size im wearing.   she kept trying to tell me that i really meant 3x, not xl.  four months ago i was a 4x...but now im not. 

she brought me a size 2x, and kept urging me to just try them on, because they'll probably fit. 

now, i love my mom, but this episode has left me less than thrilled.  i realize i have lost a lot of weight, and i know where the reluctance has come from (she wears an xl...how can i wear one too?).  i dont think she means to do it, but its still annoying.

but then again, i guess it is better than a lecture on losing weight too quickly (which is probably coming soon)

just my random thoughts for today
