Yesterday I saw someone who I have not seen in years. Her reaction was - "Wow! You look great!" During the course of the afternoon she asked me several questions about what I did/am doing to lose/maintain weight. And as I was answering her questions that little voice in the back of my head that is always chattering away was saying, "She's asking me? Why is she asking me? I'm fat. I'm an eater. I don't know how to do this." But of course I do. I've lost and kept off over 60 pounds. Which in the words of a seriously annoying upstate NY car dealership is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!  And I continue to work away at the remaining 35 pounds that I need/want to lose. And even though I struggle and regain and relose, I am doing this. Which, I guess, makes me an expert of sorts. How cool it is to go from an out of control eater who was obese to a mildly chunky in control on the program and continuing to try diet expert. Maybe I'll get a t-shirt that has I'M AN EATER on it but crossed off with a big X and then I"M ON THE PROGRAM right underneath that. Because that's the truth. I have changed my status. And I like the view from here a lot better.
