I am *not* obsessed with how I look.

I mean I am proud to be able to look my best, and I try when I have the opertunity to look cute. However I meant I do not obsess over my body image.

I am currently 162 lbs. I have lost almost 20 pounds since I went on sinthroid a year ago.

I know what I need to do to get back in shape. It involves Eating properly (healthier), and doing more than sitting on my butt all day (exercising).

Hrm, last week I went shopping at The Dress Barn with Reuben's mom and sister.

They were finding all sorts of stuff and Terri said that She would buy me one thing. So I'm looking around, and I'm too small for most of the stuff in the big women's sizes so I wandered over to the other side of the store.

In one of the sales racks, i saw this purple dress with a silk short sleeved shirt that went over it like a jacket. It was beautiful, it was proffesional looking, it was a size 8.

I haven't worn a size 8 since high school (for those who have seen me and Billie, Billie is a size 7 or 8).

Terri told me to try it on.

I was thinking, Well it isn't going to fit over either my hips or my breasts.

Turns out I was slightly wrong. The top was too tight, but the dress (which was a straight tube type dress fit over my hips, and had it not been so staticly charged might have actually looked nice on me.

I was stunned. I knew I had lost weight, I didn't think I had lost *that* much weight. I mean, I still have problems finding pants in a women's size 14 - 16 that fit.

It's weird.

I have a goal of getting 20 pounds lighter still. That would bring me to the weight I was when I was healthiest, and since I plan on doing it not by dieting, but by changing my lifestyle. I think it will be possible.
