Losing fifteen pounds has made a BIG difference. I received some new clothes today (phew!) from my sisterinlaw, including a cute little pair of denim shorts, size 14, and what do you know, I pulled them up and thought, yeah but I won't be able to zip them up, well then I zipped them up and did the button up too and they are comfy. I'm so happy to have something cute to wear this summer. This victory lead me to pull a pair of jeans out of my trunk that I haven't worn in over five years. They are a size 14. They have a Black Crowes badge sewn on the hip. Big moment as I often thought that when I could wear these again I will have "made it".
Five years they have collected dust. Who knew they were only fifteen pounds away, yet there they sat in my trunk. It has only been three and a half months. I am still going!
Ate freely today, trying to have a surplus to shock my system.
I can't believe this is happening now. So much time is spent anguishing over work to do, jobs to be done, pants to be sewn, weight to be lost, but when you get right down to it the task takes less time than you think. Now I can say it has taken me a relatively short time to lose a not inconsequential amount of weight.
