Happiness is:

Walking by a mirror in the store and not cringing at the site of your big butt tagging along behind...

A mouthful of Macademia nuts

Wearing the jeans I broke the belt loops off trying to get over my hips a few months ago.

Having an envious friend tell you "you're too skinny"

Knowing your ex wishes he wasn't ;-)

"Forgetting" to weigh yourself because you feel good in your clothes, and that's good enough

Pepperoni and melted cheese!

Wearing a bikini again--and looking good in it

A life without bloating after every single meal

Being asked if your brand new grandchild is your first baby

Feeling good, looking good, and being good (to get there)
