i have achieved a (relatively) svelte 48-36-45, and still shrinking. considering that at my peak i was running about 55-47-55, and the smallest i can be reasonably expected to get is 44-32-42, i'm feeling extremely pleased with life this morning. four more inches! four more inches!

of course, just in case, i've still got that pair of green tie-dyed jeans (men's Levis, 32x32) that i let people write on at a con ~20 years ago. [1] (some of you may even remember these jeans. they say "MINE" across the seat in great big letters. what was that chick's name again? the really hot one John Randolph was dating who blew up her neighbors' dog and stole their horse?) hey, i squeezed into them five years ago, for a brief shining moment. it could happen again!

but only if the monkeys fly out of my butt. they take up a certain amount of space.

[1] can you believe, i actually thought i was fat when i wore those jeans? fat! i mean, i looked in the mirror and saw rolls of fat. at 5'6", 145 lbs., wearing a DD cup, with a very large frame. (they measure the width of your elbow joint. i forget what the scale is, but the doctor said i have the largest measurement on the womens' scale. Hulk SMASH!) gee, thanks, mom and dad! without you, i might have thought i was a normal size or something!

I thought I was fat in GRADE SCHOOL at 120 lbs. Freaky thing is, I have a photo taken during prep for my eight grade graduation, and I did look really dumpy. Gotta LOVE adolescence.

Then, of course, I thought I was fat at 130 lbs in my early 20s.

so of course, after seeing my most recent photos, I figure I'm close enough to Just Fine at 168 lbs. Fuck the fashion industry's portrayal of Women as Clotheshangars. My body WORKS.
