I never thought it would happen... truly, I didn't... but today, I actually stood in front of one of the dreaded department store mirrors and LIKED what I saw. Over the course of the last few years, I have lost 32 pounds and I am finally able to wear sizes that don't also appear in the Women's Department! I bought two new suits that don't look like gunny sacks or moo-moos! I actually looked like a professional business woman who's only 41, instead of like a fat, old frump!
I've also embarked upon a purging of the closets... tossing sizes with W behind them into a heap and gathering up everything with numbers that mark life events -- like driving, voting and buying beer!
What a glorious day indeed, when the mirror becomes your friend once again and what a startling sight to behold -- a closet with just two suits!

Oh mirror mirror
Friend of mine
Thank you for showing me
A body so fine.
A body that has aged
But aged with grace
One that is strong
And still running the race
So thank you dear friend
For your wonderful view
And for my attitude
Which is bright and anew
Ron,
Thanks for the poems! You have the soul of a bard. ;o)
Jack,
I am embarrassed to admit that the only camera I have is on my cell phone! Maybe I can get one of my work mates to snap a picture of me. I promise that when I have my new head shots done for my upcoming graduation announcement, I'll upload it.
GOOD! FOR! YOU!!!!! (now pass some of that willpower this way, wouldja? lol)
Congrats!! This is wonderful. I'm trying my best to join you.
