When I first lost weight last year, I thought, "This is it. This is my skinny life now. Everything will be perfect." Even reading that sounds misguided and problematic. But after a lifetime of wanting something and finally achieving it, it was like winning the lottery. (I assume that's what it feels like...I will let you know if I was right when I actually win it.)
