The less i care about losing weight, the easier it becomes. This is because ACCEPTANCE is the catalyst to change and i accept my zaftig self at last. Just wish i hadn't donated those dozen bags of smaller-sized wardrobes last year when i gave up on losing weight.
The moment you give up, is the moment it happens!!!
Now i'll have to buy those clothes all over again. Well, I'll wear belts until it becomes too absurd and then spring for some new affordable things at Walmart.
Dresses will fit for several more size reductions as mine are all loose around the waist anyways. I've got four (4) identical black sleeveless dresses that i can decorate with separates to create many, many different looks.
An animation instructor at college said i 'looked like an artist.' I'd just met him on the bus!
Wondering if the benzo taper is helping things along too. I'm less sedated so i'm more active. I'm sure it's a contributing factor. Menopause on May 9th was the biggest factor tho. Everyone tells you about the BAD things about menopause, but no one ever tells you about the GOOD things.
I just feel better and better since i entered menopause!
Hugs,
Jane.

I’m constantly saying menopause was great for me. Aside from hot flashes I became much more stable. No more up and down moods with the monthlies. Much better quality sleep. The hot flashes eventually go away so then it’s all good.
