I've lost a good eight pounds since Thanksgiving, when I stopped eating terrible foods. Then I got really sick a week ago, couldn't stomach full meals, and am now left with a smaller appetite than I originally had (which, let's be real, is like a normal appetite for anyone else since I ate so much before anyways). Long story short, my clothes don't really fit me that well anymore. But at least I can fit into my pre-France clothes from 2007. I'm probably closer to my normal size than I've been in two or three years now.
What is normal anyways? Am I going to be clinging to my barely 110-lb. high school and freshman/sophomore year of college weight for the rest of my life? Or will I have to embrace that I'm never going to be back there again and will probably be on the average side from here on out? Either way, I'm sort of eating healthier again, so that's good. I should probably make an appointment to get my cholesterol/triglycerides checked out again soon.
My neck's also been bothering me a ridiculous amount lately, because I think my TMJ is at an all-time low. So when I get a break in my schedule, I'll probably start looking back into physical therapy. Who knows, it sort of helped last time, but I'm really REALLY crossing my fingers that I don't have to resort to surgery as the next step to solving my problems.
I'm just one happy mess, aren't I? Well, the happy part's correct. I really have no complaints beyond medical issues right now. So, I guess you win some and you lose some, huh?
Here's to the rest of a good week! And getting back to my sports law reading and briefs.... or I could catch up on the past two weeks of Private Practice that I missed while working basketball games....

Wow I would love the problem of not fitting into my clothes right now. I know what you mean, I've given up my thought of getting back to my high school weight, but I could still stand to lose a lot of weight. Hope your cholesterol is doing better!
I got my driver's license at 16 and I'm still wondering if I'll be that weight again . . . um, probably not, lol. But health and clothes fit is supposed to be more important than scale numbers, right? I just get upset when bras stop fitting, I hate the sacrifice of chest fat for the rest of the body fat as well!!
Once I finished reading your first paragraph, I was wondering the same thing. What is normal weight/size? I don't believe there is such thing. You can't look at the past and wish that you could look that way the rest of your life. As long as you feel good and can still do your same exercises as before. So good luck with the dr's.
Congrats on all of your hard work paying off! Maybe I can try to get motivated by you.... except for the fact that today I bought a chocolate croissant and two individual galettes to make up for my horrible teaching day. I'm not going to eat them all todaaaayy....
