The old and the new...
When I started this journey back in October 2010 I was wearing a size 11 ring on the ring finger of my right hand. Today, as I sit here typing, I am wearing a size 8 ring on my right ring finger. It is extraordinary to me to be in the "normal" range for ring sizes! I mean, I can go into any store and find a ring that'll fit me! ANY STORE!!!! Also, my favorite ring is too big to be worn on any of my fingers...WHAT?! While basking in this new sizing sensation I dug up my grandmother's engagement ring, a ring that was always so "tiny" in my mind, and it is SO going to fit me by the time I am done with all of this. It is somewhere between a 6 and 7...so maybe I am as tiny as my gramma...inside of all of this fat I do believe that I am actually just as tiny as she was. I have always felt like the "fat one" in my family. I have never felt like I could ever hope to be anywhere even near normal...but tiny...again, I say WHAT?!
I also purchased a new winter coat yesterday...from Old Navy...THE STORE...not online in the fat girl section, but at the real store at the mall in the regular sizes...AND I HAVE 77 MORE POUNDS TO LOSE!!! It's all a bit crazy to me. My goal "was" to be a size 12/14 but now that I'm looking at 77 more pounds and I'm already a 18/20...well, I'm thinking that a 8/10 is going to be more like it. Or smaller? I still haven't wrapped my head around that...it's gonna take some time.
