How funny.. My Dad mentioned that maybe I need to stop losing weight now because the size small sweats are too big on me, but I told him my body will know when to stop and that is when I will stop. I am only 19 lbs from where Dr. Callery thinks I should be and 13 from my personal goal.. which is 1/2 of what I started at... so I really don't want to stop right now anyway..

I can tell you one thing.. I got really freaked out tonight when I came into work. My friend who I haven't seen in a while... (Since I was an 18 I think) came in and said "Dang you keep getting skinnier" You have to realize that my friend is 6'9" tall and pretty well built.. not fat but a big guy. So I laughed and told him.. "that's the point" after I went over and gave him a hug he picked me up.. with ONE ARM and put me sideways under his arm. ME Sideways under someone's arm. Yes it freaked me out. Nobody had been able to pick me up with two arms, let alone one since I was a kid.. It was fun, scary, and pretty dang exciting all at once. (Not excited about the man.. he's gay.. and my friend) just saying.. I was excited that I actually felt small. Even though our height has always been something that made me feel a little small next to him, I never really did feel as tiny as I did tonight. He said I was like a rag doll. Then as I was squiggling to get out of his arms and hitting him .. he would play that.. I hear something but where is it coming from.. like it was no effort to hold me there. Oh what a feeling.. just thought I would share..
