The strangest thing happened to me yesterday, but I have to go back a ways to explain.

When I was younger....and much thinner.... I always shopped in the petite section. This continued until I was into size 18. Then all of a sudden petites didn't fit me anymore. I of course assumed that the whole petite thing was a figment of my imagination. I just had short legs.

Well....the last few days my pants have been feeling very baggy. I have not dug into my closet for my 18's yet....trying to stretch my 20's a little further (especially those I just bought in October). So I rolled the waistband down....and then I rolled it down again. And then it struck me. I'm no longer petite because I'm FAT!! I didn't grow. The distance from my seam to my waist is just bigger because it has to go around all my excess junk.

Okay....it seems silly but it never dawned on my that all of this had to do with me getting fatter. Maybe it's denial.

Just thought I would share my 'Ah-hah!" moment

;o)

You'll have more of those as time goes on. I've had a few of those aha moments too.

The good part is that the aha moments turn to fun moments as time goes on. You pull a pair of tiny little jeans out of the dryer and you think... WTH? Who do these belong to? It dawns on you that those tiny little jeans are YOURS.

So those little realizations get BETTER with time, you'll see!
