Wow, talk about mega ego killer. Not that I had a big ego to begin with or anything. I took my youngest son to the park today before heading to the school to pick my other son up. In total, I walked 2 miles in this nice heat...I wish it was like this all summer, around 75 degrees. Anyways, I jogged most of the way up to the school...my asthma started to bother me but once I sat down, I was able to control that....havent had an inhaler in about 2 years. Anyways, I'm setting on the sidewalk while the little one is playing and this truck drives by with its music playing pretty loudly. I dont know if the guys realized they were talking loud enough for me to hear them or if maybe that was their point, but they said "DAMN, thats a big ole girl." Now, I know I'm still big @ 5'9 (or 9 1/2")and 196 lbs, but its a big ole kick in the face whenever you hear something like that and you know that you use to hover in weight at around 267 lbs and have lost so much weight and think you are beginning to look half way decent and feel half way decent about yourself and then hear THAT. Man, I guess I wont let it get me down since I know in my heart and the way things fit, that there is progress, but it hurts.
