Husband Noticed My Arms!

It was funny.

The other day I was showing him my arm that was bothering me because I had blood drawn and I hadn't looked to see if it was bruised or not but it felt like it was. So I pulled my arm out of my sleeve to see if it was and he was standing over me watching to see the results too.

When I did, I didn't notice any bruising but my husband did say "Wow. I can't believe how small your arms are now! I never noticed before but they just look tiny!"

I was a little taken aback by it and then started scrutinizing my arms a bit, LOL I know they are smaller because bracelets fit me now and when the nurse went to draw blood, my vein was so much more prominent than in the past where normally it was flat with my arm, this time it was practically jumping out of my arm! I have really good veins to begin with, but this just proved how good they really are when there isn't a lot of extra fat around it!

So, any ways, I held my arm out so we could compare a side by side. He was shocked even further when he said "Wow, your arm is actually smaller than mine now. I don't think it's ever been smaller than mine!" and even I was shocked at the difference in size when compared side by side like that, LOL

It's the little things sometimes, but it made me feel good. I still have some severe body dysmorphia. I'll catch glimpses of myself in mirrors now and think "WOW! I look so much smaller!" but I still can't actually believe it is me I am looking at! LOL

The scales have been waivering and I am trying to control the weight gain. Most of it is from an increased hunger and even cravings of "bad" things. Right now my most favorite treat which unfortunately is a major slider food, is the new Chocolate Cheerios they have out. OMG they are so good and I can just sit there and snack on them without thinking and not feel full EVER it seems! I feel like a bottomless pit sometimes while eating them!

They are so good I probably won't be buying more, for fear I'll eat the whole box again! LOL One box is 1200 calories! I guess it's better than a bag f chips or candy or even ice cream, but it's still carbs and it does have sugar. I initially got them for the kids, but when I tasted them I was immediately addicted. I blame it on the baby! ROFLOL
