Beginning to Feeling Diminutive Again

I am starting to actually feel diminutive again! I am just now getting to the weight that many people who are struggling to lose weight are starting at, so I know that I am still very heavy, but I can actually do some things that I couldn't do for so many years that made me feel HUGE! I can get close enough to my 6'6" brother to fit under his arm again! Yes, you read that right. We are full blood siblings and he is 6'6" and I am 5'1". I grew up in a house full of giants! My standing joke for many years has been "Our family had some short genes(jeans) and somebody had to wear them!" He has been telling people for the last 35 years that I am short because he was always patting me on the top of my head. (He is 2 and 1/2 years older than me.) Both of our younger sisters are also tall, although not as tall as our brother. My brother's son and daughter are both over 6' tall.

I am truly enjoying my sons' designation of me as "The Incredible Shrinking Mom" as I am getting smaller as they are growing taller. This morning my 13 year old said he is as excited as I am looking forward to the day when he will be able to pick me up and throw me in the swimming pool at the family reunion, which is one of the things I have on my list of things I want to be able to "do" when I get near or at goal. I doubt that it will be this summer, but we are shooting for next summer!

I am down a few more pounds this week! Hurray!
