Ya'll are sweet!

Ya'll. That's a delightful southern expression. It encompasses everyone within ear shot. So it's appropriate that I say, "Ya'll are so sweet!" I know there were lurkers everywhere throughout the week that glanced in to see my MMW that (gasp!) I posted publically. And the general response has been:

"No way!"

"I would have never guessed that!"

"How can that be?"

Even my doctor, who looked me over when I told him I wanted to lose 50 lbs., said, "I think that may be unhealthy."

"But I weigh 185."

"Oh. Well. Really? Are you sure?" Like I'm not gonna know that? He finally agreed it was a good goal and a good timeframe (12 months) to pursue it.

So, to all my dear friends and readers who have been either a) truly surprised, or b) generously kind, or c) incredibly two-faced as you snicker behind your hand... I'll assume the best and say,

"Thanks! Ya'll are so sweet!"

Donna, speaking just for myself and Wilma, neither of us would have ever guessed your weight. No snickering. Just the truth.
