Question Time!

I'm considerably more honest than I used to be. After shedding weight and then realizing how much B.S. I put out there for years, I have very little patience for other B.S. out there. I don't like people to waste my time with bad excuses. It's not just with weight-related issues either.

I'm much more outgoing. The old me would much rather hide in the shadows. It's a good thing. I can only hope that by goal I've shed the shy girl part of my persona. I'm not sure that I will miss her!

One of these days I'll write that entry for you...its kind of about this very topic.

I've still got a long way to go, but I feel happier and more determined to follow my dreams.

Sometimes I think about that girl. It mostly makes me feel like I am literally thinking about another person. And quite often, I feel very sad for her.

First of all, I love Drop Dead Diva, so good job in liking an awesome show. I will say that after I watched that episode I didn't have the same soulful introspective thoughts as you, but you bring up a really good point! It really is like you have two different people inside of you when you struggle with your weight - the person you are on the outside, and the person you want to be. Or that you are, just only on the inside.

I like to think that once I reach my goal weight, I won't really have changed much except in my attitude and perceptions towards food and my health, but you know what, maybe it wouldn't really be such a bad thing if I did really CHANGE, too. Because there's a reason that the person I am now got to the point I am at, weight-wise, and maybe in shedding the pounds, if I shed away the reasons I gained the weight in the first place, I'll be left with a whole new person to forge forward as.

I really enjoy reading your blog! Nice to find another fellow DC-er out there on a similar journey. :)

Thanks for your kind words darl :), I do struggle day to day remembering who she was. But I do often admire her, after all she was strong for so long, she got me to where I am today.
