Long Bones

I really liked this interview with Crystal Renn from the Frisky. http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-frisky-qa-crystal-renn-interview/ I really really want to read her book but between the onset of winter and a cat with health problems (poor guy is probably going to need eye surgery!) and the fact that my dividend is going to be late (do not look gift horse in the mouth, most states don’t pay people to live there at all) I am really really broke. Good thing I stored tons of food for the winter. Sometimes I wonder if I’m part squirrel. Still, Crystal Renn is beautiful and damn inspiring, at least to me. I have kinda wanted to be a plus sized model in the past but my plus size was always beyond their plus size and I have dermatillomania and my face while very pretty isn’t shaped the way most model’s faces are (that is a weird way to describe it – I’ll post pictures one of these days soon) and now I’m 28 and live in Alaska…so probably no modelling career for me.

I also ran across an author on the Atlantic named Jim Fallows who has done a lot of writing on obesity…but I haven’t yet read any of his articles so I can’t say whether I recommend him to you or not. I promise to do the reading though and let you know.

The big news today – the big big big omg!! awesome news of awesome awesomeness that has me wanting to go out dancing in the streets (and it’s awful pretty outside today…) is that on this beautiful lovely late fall day I have officially lost 75lbs and I am wearing size 12 jeans for the first time…ever? Certainly since high school. Easily since I started paying attention. Maybe sophmore year of high school? Nelly, do you have any idea? Granted, these are hand-me-down jeans and stretched out from the previous owner and the brand new pair of size 12’s I accidentally bought when I was buying size 16s that I decided to keep because I knew I’d hit it eventually don’t quite fit yet. But these jeans fit perfectly and look sooooooo good on me. So I’m happy. Maybe I can have Shondar take a picture of my butt later for you.

I rock so hard sometimes.
