"You've Come a LONG Way"

Those are the words that were uttered by my friend who was a former cheerleader and dancer in high school who still dresses to the nines even for grocery shopping....

How does someone respond to that? My reply was a nervous "haha...what?"

What occurs next is a very large bite of one's foot....

"Well, Ally and I were talking about how you have come so far from a couple years ago and how you dress so much better and look so much better now. Isn't that right Ally?" As Ally is punching Susan in the arm ferociously turning beet red saying, "SHUT UP!"


Whoa...I had no idea that my "frump" status had become a popular subject for my gal pals. Sure I knew I was a "little" (lot) chubby, but I thought I hid it better. I had been trying to change my ways and get leaner, which I had done quite successfully at that point. I often reflect on that statement in my continuing journey toward health and fitness. I'm still a work in progress with 30 pounds gone, but hey, "I've come a long way." :)
