Oh, No You Di'in't

Remember my little trip to the DMV to renew my drivers license?
Remember how I confessed that I lied on my weight?

Well, I got my new drivers license in the mail today and guess what?

THEY CHANGED THE WEIGHT ON MY DRIVERS LICENSE!

I kid you not. This is no laughing matter.

I am 99.9999...9 % sure I put a different weight on my application. I know because I consciously made the decision to put down the skinny me on paper. Because, you know, I wanted to account for any weight loss that could be attained in the next 4 years. So technically, I really wasn't lying at all... just planning for the future.

The weight change wasn't a huge difference. Only 5 pounds heavier. I guess it could have been worse, like the one time I was at the gym and a lady two treadmills down from me yells,

"Ginnie, WOW have you lost weight?
What did you lose, like 40 lbs?".
Not wanting to be rude I respond,
"Oh, ya... ummm something like that".
Then she turns to the stranger next to her and loudly announces,
"See that girl over there?"
(pointing directly at me)
"She lost 40 lbs. Can you believe that?"

That, to date, was the easiest 40 lbs I have ever lost.
I don't know how I lost it.
Didn't even know I had 40 lbs to lose.
But some how, by some miracle, I managed to do it.


So I guess that qualifies me to give out some pretty awesome weight loss advice.
Any takers?

40 pounds huh? no I don't think you ever had 40 pounds to drop unless of course you were holding 2 of your kids, then maybe.

Too funn they changed the weight, guess they know everyone lies and they add 5 punds to them all.

I can't believe they changed that!! That's got to be against some law somewhere.

I'm always up for weight loss advice- although, I have a little feeling you have no idea what it is really like to loose 40 lbs....if so, good for you- tell us how.

Now you be a good girl and don't loose any more weight, if you do we can't hang out any more cause I will bounce you off the couch when ever I sit next to you.
