First NSV...And, the article I can't believe was published

Well, I successfully (and easily) lost the weight I gained on last blog. Funny thing is, I don't really feel like I"m even trying. I do notice that I am eating less, but I don't have anything in my band yet. Which, I'm not complaining, at all!

 

Today, I reached my first NSV. I tried on a shirt I was able to wear (and look good in) 3 years ago, but haven't been able to wear in at least 2 years. YES! It's actually exciting to look at the back of my closet now and see the clothes I will soon be able to wear again!

 

Right now, I am only a couple pounds away from being under 300..I can't wait. 300 is such a gross number. I am READY for the 2's then the 1's!

 

That was the good news I had to share. Now, comes the bad. Did you hear about this ridiculous article written by Maura Kelly in Marie Claire magazine? If not, I encourage you to read it and be completely outraged. I can't believe, in this society, we have people like this. I almost wish I had a subscription just so I could cancel it! WHAT A TOOL! Here is the link:

Good luck on your clothes size! That is a wonderful feeling. I hit the 2's and wow that is a great feeling. I am now beginning that long journey to the hundreds. However, I am going to embrace it and work hard to get there.

I did read your article. Yes, it outraged me. It seem that this a just another way people discriminate. I have no tolerance for that at all. I did note the attached apology. However, I decide to forgo the 3,000 plus comments. Wow....I think it is something that all of us who have struggled with our weight have known. There are ignorant people in the world who will find reasons to be mean and hateful to other in situations that they truly don't understand. Those kinds of people motivate me more everyday to teach my children to be accepting of our differences! Thanks for sharing it!
