I had a dream...

Seriously, this isn't about MLK, I had a dream last night, it was really odd. I was standing naked in front of the mirror looking at myself and it took me a while but I realized that my breasts were much much smaller, in fact everything from my waist up was really thin. I don't think there was any change to my stomach or hips, or if there was it certainly wasn't as extreme as my upper body change. I'm not sure what that was all about, probably something to do with a conversation my boyf and I had about my the diet last night.
Anyway, in my waking life, I actually have been noticing a change in my body, my hands and feet and neck and shoulders and face have all gotten thinner, also my hip area is shrinking. I haven't noticed a big change in tummy or bum yet, but I have noticed that I'm wearing the smaller pants in my wardrobe, so it must be a change I can't see yet. It's a funny way to lose weight, isn't it? I don't really care about having thin hands and feet, but the extremities always seem to get thin first. I've also noticed a difference in my ability to retain heat, the boyf likes to keep the thermostat at arctic levels, there's a marking for what should normally be considered room temperature and we haven't near there since the summer. So it's cold in my place, and I have a duvet, a comforter and another blanket on the bed, I'm sleeping in warm PJs and the other night I had to get up and put on my fleece robe and put a heating pad under my back to get to sleep. Now, this isn't anorexia, I still have plenty of weight to lose, why can't I get warm? Oh well, it's a small price to pay for beauty and to take some pressure off my poor knee.
As for Yrautca's comment about my knee and my sex life, never you mind about my sex life Yrautca, never you mind.
About the weigh in tomorrow. Please go back and review the post I put up last Wednesday regarding "The Rules" for how to calculate your percentage, or just email me your info and I'll post it. And please way yourself at a consistent time every Thursday, don't try to weigh yourself all day and then report the lowest weight, it's not fair to everyone else.

Jennifer its funny because I also have been having the same experience. i don’t have a wash basin stomach but this week on a couple of days I wore two of my older pants to work and they fit rather nicely. And my newest pants are now kind of lose.

I don’t want you girls to get sick or injured in this process. That’s why I keep saying this is not a competition to lose weight. This is a competition to become healthier.

whatever Yrautca....you just dont' want to lose. I on the other hand, have not been to the gym yet and went to the Mandarin last night. I think this week is a write off for me. Perhaps i'll have Harvey's tonight :)

I dont think they have harveys in the states do they??? You might have to explain what that is *to the token yanks...LOL!*

I'm glad you're starting to notice a difference. I only hope I'll be so lucky in the near future. Summer is coming and it would be nice to actually be able to wear a bathing suit out and not stay covered up.

Ok..I reviewed the rules. I'm so nervous about tomorrow. Granted I know I started late but I'm not sure there is much difference this week. My last two days I haven't exercised really. I've been working really late and coming home and falling asleep on the couch. :0( It's ok though. Will be better competition next week. Watch out ladies!
