The number

Bestest says the number on the scale is just that -- a number.  He's right of course.

But today I want to celebrate a milestone.

To date I have lost 91 pounds from my all time high.

My self esteem has definitely improved and I'm hoping the results of my blood tests will show that I am healthier.

Add that to the fun I'm having since I joined the Women, Wine and Words meetup group last year and I think my life is at an all time high.

My dreams, which are always very vivid, have me living in mansions and the other night I was actually flying the plane. I feel healthy, wealthy, and more in control of my life than I have in a very long time.

That number on the scale is a concrete measurement that helps me stay on the straight and narrow and that is important, because I love to indulge myself.

Being happy about a number is better than celebrating with ice cream and pizza!
