This is my body and I'm sticking to it

...for the next several months. I've decided to make an effort to be more positive about it, though it will take some real work to remain positive when I get a naked glance at my jiggly belly. I wore my new clothes today, the ones that aren't baggy. I got a lot of "shock and awe" responses. I'm trying to learn to just say, "Thank you," but it's hard. Like many people, it's easier for me to take a slap than a compliment. Time to outgrow that. It's annoying when other people do it, so if I do it...you do the math. Saw the doc for my final visit of the season. She's upgraded my steak days! She told me something else to do (a "protein day") instead. I just adore her! So if I'm on the hook for Friday, I'm going to try Option B. Yeah, I wish I could say, "I've lost 120 pounds!" But, being able to say, "I've lost 105 pounds" is good too. Pouting about that 15 pounds of belly sludge I wish was no longer on me won't help. Time to appreciate what I have and be grateful for it. It's sure a lot better to have 30 pounds to lose than where I was for the last 20 years. Oh, and I don't know why the blog is eating my paragraphs. Irritating!
