tales of a 36-year old nut

slip-slidin’ away

Posted by Gina on July 2nd, 2008

i officially hit my goal weight today! woohoo!

as pumped as i am about it… i’m sitting in a moment of sober reconciliation.

you see, the last time i was at this weight i was sitting in front of a camera at the local tag agency waiting for my first drivers license. yeah… it’s been that long. my license has maintained the same weight for the past 20 years even though i haven’t. ;)

but 20 years (and 3 kids) later… things don’t look quite like they used to. things aren’t where they used to be.

i don’t know that i was consciously thinking my body would look like it did at 16 years old, but i think somewhere in the depths of my ‘id’, i must have thought that would magically happen.

the funny thing is… i’m not disappointed. i’m in a season in life where ‘things’ will continue to droop, drag or drop. but at the same time… i like myself so much more today than i did back then.

i like who i am. i like who God made me to be. and i’m grateful for the journey that has earned the sag.

Awesome news. I like who I am better now too

Congratulations, Gina! Great post.

Congratulations.
I know what you mean though about things changing since the teen years. When I was 16 I would have never guessed that a weekly task for my wife would be to help me shave my hairy back. :) But then again, I also didn’t think I’d be blessed enough to land her as a wife.

Anyway, great insight on the seasons of change in life.
