Skinny Minnie !

So some readers of this blog will understand this post better than others! Look how thin mom has gotten?!?! She has always been on the heavy side. In fact, about 2 years ago, more or less, I saw ankles on her for the first time in my life! She was extatic! Weight loss has been her battle for her whole life. Standing at a whopping 4'9" it was hard for her to ever slim down. So when this whole downward decline began, I started feeding her all the fattning crap I could! And of course, she would refuse it at first (how the lady doth protest too much!) but then she would give in to the choclate sin!!! However, she still was refusing mashed potatoes, fried foods, etc..."It'll make me fat"! I couldn't get her out of the mode of thinking that....she's thought that way her WHOLE LIFE! So in the past year, I have been holding up her wrist for her to see...proving the fact that she was indeed skinny! She can't even wear my Grandmother's watch anymore...it just slides right off! her shirts are size small, but look how they fall off her shoulders in the picture!

Well as you can see, the past 3 months has been even more of a challenge weight wise. I always thought it was just a saying...SKIN AND BONES...but nope! It actually can happen! This is a picture of her holding her H2O cup. Just bones. I asked if I could post about it and she was actually happy to let me post pictures....saying, "I'm finally skinny!"
Well mom, just so you know...this is NOT A GOOD THING! Her little body is just not retaining any of the nutrients we feed it. Her teeth are even on the decline...but don't tell her that! She has always taken such good care of her teeth..they are still being taken care of, however, her body is just not functioning properly, so they are graying. At least she is happy that we can now call her "SKINNY MINNIE!"
