I’m NOT a baser

I’m not on the Atkins diet and I’m not on crack.

I just happen to have lost a serious amount of weight. When people see me now they do a double take. My mama says I look horrible, but my friends say I look great.

It took me a long time to shed the weight I gained with my last pregnancy. I was a little over 200 lbs. when I gave birth. And slowly, but surely the pounds have come off until recently I went into a store and gasped at the fact that I was wearing a size 6 in jeans.

Size 6?

I hadn’t seen a size 6 since I was 19 years old.

Now, don’t get all happy for me, in my opinion skinny is NOT cute. I never thought those pencil thin women had anything on me and when I got to college and gained my “Freshman 15” I was so excited, cuz then I actually had hips and thighs and a little junk in my trunk.

I know why I’m losing all this weight. So if you’re wondering how to trim the fat, here’s my weird little secret: I don’t eat just for the fun of it.

When I was trying to lose weight I made up my mind that I would only eat to satisfy my hunger. I wouldn’t eat just because it was meal time or eat to make myself bloated, I’d only eat when I felt hungry and then I’d eat just enough to kill the hunger pain. The major habit that I formed was to STOP eating fast food.

I guess this habit has taken its toll on me because I don’t really desire large amounts of food anymore. My appetite has decreased dramatically. I don’t think I’m anorexic. I’m definately not bulimic. I don’t know what has happened to me. All I know is I can’t dare to lose anymore weight. Even my face is starting to look different.

If I could, I’d go back up to a size 8. I think a size 8 is the perfect size. I wouldn’t even mind going back up to a 10. But until then I’ll just enjoy this tiny frame and not worry too much about it unless I start to feel sick. I still look damn good.

Heyyyy. Maybe that’s why I’m attracting all of these young guys, I have the body that I had back in highschool.

Who knows.
