A friend told me about a website where she posted art.  A few years down the line I had fallen in love with it and was actively involved.  Some years after that I was a volunteer.  Now I'm probably a mostly forgotten memory This place changes pretty fast.  Anyway, it's been 9 years since I joined dA.  Nowadays I have so much else to do in my life that time to make art seems like something I can only daydream about - if I had time to daydream.  I'm a day late posting this journal!   

45 pounds, 6 inches.

Since I decided to lose weight in October-ish of last year, I've been eating healthy (had my first burrito since October yesterday! ), eating right portion sizes (A 5'5" person such as myself has no need of a portion size fit for a 6'2" person... which the world seems to think everyone is), and exercising regularly.  In combination with having gained a not insignificant amount of muscle, I've lost a total of ~45 pounds and a good six inches off of my waist.  I lost so much weight that I have to buy a new suit, they told me that my old one could not be tailored to how small I am now. I went from wearing larges mediums to wearing extra smalls and smalls.  I love it. And the best part is, because I exercise and eat right, I still eat, so I don't starve.

Social network anyone?

Some day I'll be able to whip something up and post it, and be able to contribute to the community again.  That would be wonderful.  In the meantime, if you want to be able to keep in communication with me, click the Facebook link up there.
