Fat? or Fit???

I can’t believe that it’s already November. The past few months have literally flown by — and it’s hard to believe that in just about a month and a half, I’m going to be heading out west for Christmas break at my parents’ house in British Columbia. I’m looking forward to the getaway, but I’m also looking forward to seeing my sister from New Zealand, who I haven’t seen in three years. She and I are quite close, and traveling this journey towards better health is something that I always thought I’d do with her by my side. Needless to say, the first moment that I see her is likely going to be an emotional one — but it’s going to be amazing.
I also had a reveal moment last week. My parents came to visit me here in Toronto for a week. I saw my dad in July at a family wedding in Pennsylvania, but I hadn’t seen my mother since last Christmas. And even though I was already well on my way at this time last year, I was 110 pounds heavier. So I don’t know what I was expecting, when I picked them up at the airport, but I was more than thrilled to know that she didn’t recognize me and at one point wondered why my dad (who I saw first, coming out of the arrivals area) was hugging a strange man. Knowing that I look like a completely different person is something that I’m learning to get more comfortable with, but I have to admit that I still have moments where I wonder if I’ve really changed.
