Jesus. Bird death always makes me feel like the apocalpyse is coming.
I don't know that I should be a size 4, Jesse. I just like that I was. Even briefly.

Yeah. I think if I were ever a size 4 again (and I don't actually think I should be -- I think I should be an 8 or 10), I'd also feel like the apocalypse was coming.

size 4 is a lot like size 14, but, surprisingly, with fewer clothes to choose from, at least in LA. Because there are lots of size 4s but fewer 14s, so the sales racks are full up of 14s.
And, for me, I never really got the sense that I looked different as a 4 from the way I looked as a 14. Even though I lost the weight in about 3 months and kept it off up until, basically, the past 2 weeks. The thing is, I never thought I was super overweight at 14 and I never thought I was skinny at 4.
Size perception is a wacky thing.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Ugh, I feel sick, and I've been away from Chelsea for an hour and a half!
In other news, however, I want to note that Rodney Yee And His Enormous Package are now taken. I think it may have been Ellen who coined that, but whoever did, he has no other name for me since.

I get that. I'm busting out of my 12s at this point. I felt fat at weights I'd kill to be now, and really, feel no more fat (in that I'm no more down on myself) even though I'm at least 30 lbs heavier. I just feel like me, and never felt small/slim/whatever, even when I was. That I was, is only even seeable to me, now that I'm not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course, of course. We just laugh at the idea that size 10 is the EMERGENCY! MUST LOSE WEIGHT! size on the teevee.

I'm pretty sure Victor coined the term. I've never thought of him as anything else since.

In order to do any useful work, I have to fill out a "change request form", so that it can be approved.
The form includes two separate fields, "Purpose for Change", and "Reason for Change".
I suspect this means that my job has gotten a little too bureaucratic.
