I watched an episode of The Oprah show yesterday. Jennifer Hudson was the guest. Jennifer has lost 80 pounds using weight watchers and exercise. She went from a size 16 to a size 6. I couldn’t help but wonder what I would look like as a size 6. How inspiring is that? She has also recruited her whole family to join in and they have lost a total of over 1,000 pounds. She looked wonderful and also seemed happy.
One of the things she had mentioned was her shopping experience once she had lost the weight. She said she would still walk towards the XL clothes even though she was a small. She said her mind hasn’t caught up with her body. I feel the opposite sometimes. I feel like my body isn’t keeping up with my mind. In my mind I am as skinny as I was in high school. I was 125 pounds to be exact. When I go into the store I pick up the medium and then said to myself “wait... you are too big for this.” It is funny how that works. I guess if I think thin it may come true someday.
Still dreaming of skinny :)
