Deb's Good News, Bad News: the 100 Pound Edition
Good News: Deb has lost 100 pounds since her last birthday.
Bad News: She didn't know she would be doing this on her birthday in 2010, so she cannot remember what her last birthday cake tasted like.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Good News: Deb can now feel her collarbones without pressing too hard.
Bad News: When Deb asks someone else to feel her collarbones, he or she scuttles away like a nervous crab and makes references to finding a mental health professional.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Good News: Deb's ring size has gone from a snug 9 to a loose 7.
Bad News: Much of Deb's ring collection is still size 9. Apparently they didn't get the memo.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Good News: Deb is much more active and has energy to accomplish much more in the day.
Bad News: Deb now does housework. (I realize this might seem like good news, but I'm not there yet.)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Good News: Deb sweats much less than she used to.
Bad News: For the first time in a decade, Deb is uncomfortably cold.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Good News: Deb has gone down about 7 dress sizes.
Bad News: Deb can no longer even pretend that any of her old clothes fit.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Good News: Deb now gets enough protein and water every day.
Bad News: Deb does this by putting liquid protein and water in a 1-gallon mug and carrying it with her all day, earning her the appellation of "Cup Lady" from students and some co-workers.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Good News: Deb can now fly on a plane with confidence that she will not have any issues with seat size.
Bad News: Deb can't afford to fly anywhere.
Yet.

Cup lady? If it's not one thing, it's another. How about 'gorgeous brilliant lady'? That one fits!
I think somebody needs a What Not to Wear weightloss makeover!
That is so wonderfully awesome. Way to go! I'd be happy to come feel your collarbones if I lived a little closer.
I love those new stretchy rings that fit any size. Maybe you could sell the size 9 rings and have money for a plane ticket.
I am dying for a makeover! I want the full thing, though: surgery, new teeth, shin extensions, wardrobe, etc. If only I'd had the foresight to have octuplets...
Oh my gosh---I want so badly to see you on What Not to Wear. Clinton and Stacy would love you:)
