I just lost 10% of my body weight (17 lbs) and am working on another 10 lbs or so. I am now 152 lbs and 5'4', so not a skinny thing, but I definitely feel better. I going to the doctor today to see if my blood pressure has dropped, one of the reasons for the weight loss. On a more shallow note, I really wanted to lose the weight because I was freaking tired of hating how I looked in or out of clothes, and as a consequence ignoring my body all the time. Fighting body image demons was just taking up way too much of my psychic energy.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Trust my rage
I breastfed exclusively for 6 months, but I'm still 6 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. Very frustrating!

So, any way I can nurse a kid without, you know, having one?
Yes, but not especially effectively (google adoption and breastfeeding), so I don't know that you'd get the 500 calorie a day burnoff from it. Also, pumping sucks. Literally, too.

Yeeeehaw.
Just saw a guy who works in our DC office. I haven't seen him in about 4 years, though we have worked together for about 10. He got all squeeee over the way I look - weight loss, hair cut. Nice ego boost.
Now I have a big ole grin on my face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Let's just say he's no Hugh Laurie.
