Ten Ways I Know I'm Shrinking
(no matter what the scale says!)
=============================

1. When I rest my chin on my hand, I can feel my jawbone through my flesh.
2. My stomach is starting to support itself.
3. I no longer have to be a contortionist to hook my bra behind my back.
4. When I have a choice, I sit in unpadded chairs because I like that my rear end can feel the hard surface beneath me for a change.
5. The stick changes color.
6. My sunglasses don't leave dents in my temples.
7. When I lie on my side, the fat that rests next to me doesn't take up as much room as it used to.
8. Are those my collarbones in the mirror, or are my shoulders glad to see me?
9. My elbows clear my hips when I swing my arms while walking.

and the number one way I know I'm shrinking no matter what the scale says is...

10. The Pants-O-Meter!!!

Number 11, anyone?
