Yay Me!!!

What would my online diary be without the juicy stuff right? I told my new friend that I was going to dedicate a post to him...yes that is right ladies and gentleman, Mandy is talking to a male species...after you wake up from passing out on the floor I will give you the details. Just kidding, there are no details. I have just been having fun with a new friend. He does read this, and I don't want to look like a complete idiot. I will tell you that he is really cute, and he kind of has me hooked. I would show you a picture but I didn't ask his permission. Don't worry Jeff, nobody you know reads this blog...

I was just kidding about dedicating a post to him. Today I am giving myself props. I have lost some weight. I haven't felt any different, and in fact I look at myself in the mirror everyday and get really down on myself because I don't feel any different and I haven't noticed a change. I still have a lot of love around the middle, but the other day I wore a pair of pants to work...ummm....they were slightly too big. I finally realized that I have made progress and it was time to give myself a little credit. These are the pants I wore...I had to pull them out for the full affect, what would a weight loss picture be without this pose?

I wouldn't let Sammy get my head in the picture cuz I hadn't gotten ready yet today.

So this is me as of right this second. Ethan just took this picture...not bad for my little 4 year old. Did you notice the belt, yeah, even my new pants need a belt, I am ready to go one size smaller. And guess what Zach, no girdle...WooHoo!!! My goal weight is still about 8 pounds away...Yes I said 8 pounds. That is so doable...I can't believe it! I am at the point that I just need to firm up though. It isn't about weight to me, but it is about being healthy and becoming comfortable in my own skin.

Sorry for the yay me, but I am pretty proud of myself. Oh, and Sammy wouldn't take a picture of me if I didn't take a picture of her...so here is Sammy blowing a kiss to everyone. She loves you all!

I wish there was a way to feel happy for you and not extra fat at the same time. Isn't it amazing how cute boys can get us to put down the candy bar and pick up a dumbbell.

Hi Sammy and E!
