WTG Zen!! Does it feel like you've fantasized over the years? I still have to remind myself that I'm not a fat chick anymore. A lifetime of conditioning *poof* not valid anymore! I just know you're smiling ear to ear!

Wowzers - Zen is normal! Who would have thought it eh? What an inspiration to us all you are Zen!
I would normally say keep it going but hey - you don't need to anymore - you just need to live a 'NORMAL' life!

NOrmal? Really?
No really, its a great feeling. GOOD FOR YOU! When I ran to tell my husband I was normal...he snickered and said..."I beg to differ"...so don't get to normal just thin.
