the amazing shrinking woman

(That's me.) Apparently. This morning, another co-worker saw me and said, "Ashley! You're shrinking every time I see you!" I think that makes six people who have referred to me as "shrinking" when they haven't seen me in person (as in not over video conference) in a week or more. It's bizarre. I guess all I can say is thank you. One can't exactly say, "Yeah! I am literally working my ass off to look like this!" Technically, being a Veselka, I suffer from Negative Ass Syndrome. Line up the Veselkas, and pretty much down the line the silhouette goes in or stays flat at the ass. So I'm actually having to work on losing weight everywhere *but* my ass; doing exercise that builds ass muscle. ("I must, I must, I must increase my ass!")

The best part is all the new clothes I can wear (and finally feel like I look good in them!) It's *way* better than being stuffed painfully into something that I feel I could burst the seams of if I breathe too deeply. I might have to do a little fashion shoot to show off my new clothes and the 30lbs lighter me.
