Getting the Skinny...

Sunday night, I ran into an old family friend who is also a doctor. She is known for speaking her mind, and she got straight to the point. "You're too skinny, Nada," she said. "You need to eat." When I laughed it off, she persisted. "You don't look good in the face." That always gets me, because I know it's true. When my weight dips below a certain point, it shows in my face, and it's not pretty. Then today, I ran into two friends who haven't seen me in a while. The first commented on how I'd lost all my baby weight, and then some, and the second said that I am the skinniest she's ever seen me. Then, a sales associate at my favorite department store echoed the same sentiment: "I don't think I've ever seen you look so small." That did it. I marched home and consulted my husband. "You are too skinny," he said, indicating the prominent bones on my hsoulders and decollete. "I think you have lost some weight."
I didn't believe him, so I hopped on the scale. 9 pm, hair soaking wet, and I weighed 92 pounds. 92 POUNDS!!! Apparently, the pound and a half that I inadvertently lost was enough to take me from being normal skinny to scary skinny.
So now my focus has been temporarily been diverted to my weight, and putting some back on. I know that it seems like an enviable problem to have, and I'm not expecting much sympathy, but I do have to say that I really struggle to keep my weight up, and at times it's become a real issue. It's especially hard to have a healthy diet and still gain weight. But I will work on it, and I'll keep you posted. If anyone has any ideas for healthy weight gain, please let me know!

It's working! It's working!

It's been 5 days since I had Botox, and it's working! I can't believe it. Sunday I was in the car, and I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed a difference, but I thought I might be imagining it. I can smile. I look exactly the same. But when I smile, there are no lines!!! None! How fab is that?!?
Then today, I have been checking it out whenever I get a chance, and there is a definite difference. But now I am getting scared. It looks great now. What's it going to look like in another week, when it keeps progressing. Better? Worse?
I'll keep you posted!

Still waiting for my sister and mom to notice something. So far the only thing they've noticed is the bruise!
