What’s your biggest remaining challenge?
Lost a couple more pounds — Down 26.5# from my highest weight, down about 10# from starting this blog. I was relieved to get past 300. It’s funny how we attribute such meaning to certain numbers. The “round” numbers (no pun intended) are obvious candidates, but here’s my list of meaningful numbers:

Forget BMI. What’s your PBII (Personal Body Image Index)?

Pretty profound statement for a four-year old, eh?
I don’t generally complain about my looks — I’m pretty comfortable in my own skin. However, she caught me grumbling about my straight (read: flat that day) hair. She came right over and said, “Mommy, you need to be who you are!”
