Holy cow! I was going through my closet today. Wow, all I can say is wow. My old tried and true reliables are just so massively big that it is ridiculous! I have been saving some of my skinny clothes because I couldn't bear to part with them... and guess what? They fit. No Joke, No Lie!
One positive thing about me is that I am finally fitting into some prefat clothes. Yay!
PS. Thanks for this thread! It has renewed my motivation to keep losing!
My positive is my dear boyfriend told me I was hot today! YAY!! I needed that after my "fat" week.
That's us back in August in Chicago at the Shedd Aquarium. I haven't seen him since then, and won't get to see him til probably Dec or Jan. Distance sucks, but is a great motivator in weight loss! Love that surprised, "wow" look on his face
My positive today..although not really diet related is that I am beyond thankful to live in a clean and decent home, be employed and have a loving boyfriend..(It's pretty bad that it takes meeting people who are worst off to make me realize this).
my co-workers are vetoing me still wearing my fat pants to work. I know they make me look like I have tremendous saddlebags (that magically disappear when you grab the fabric) but still I can't bring myself to spend good money on a pair of pants that are going to end up covered in icing and gunk every day.\
i guess pretty soon I won't have a choice. My belt is the only thing that keeps them up anyway.
hey Leighish are there any thrift shops around you?? I have bought so much clothes at the Salvation Army ( brand name too!) for quite cheap and it's got me through many sizes!
One of my coworkers actually told me the other day that I really need to buy some "in between" pants because she's worried that the belt isn't going to be tight enough after awhile and my pants are going to fall right down in the middle of class! haha
If you have a Burlington Coat Factory near you, that's also a good place to look for some pants. You can find some pants to get you through for pretty cheap...especially if you hit the clearance racks.
I was at an all-time low today (by which I mean a number I haven't seen since 2006) of 152.8.
One fifty TWO. Holy crapsticks. That's AMAZING! I'm shocked! My mini-goal for tomorrow was 153, and I ate well today (was too busy writing a panicked essay to think TOO much about food...) so hopefully the same number hangs tight for tomorrow!
I have homemade food for lunch tomorrow, morning and afternoon snacks prepared, my exercise stuff ready to go, home mostly clean. I've been a little off track (not too much! but still) ... so big improvement. Too bad the laundry's not done yet .
unfortunately there are no thrift stores in the area for some unknown reason. It's not often I have the time to drive all the way to houston to search for thrift stores. I guess I could check out Ross and see what I can find?
OK, so this is kind of an odd one, but I love that my eight-year-old son frowned at me over breakfast today, and told me that I am skinny enough now, and that if I lose any more weight, I will look funny. Oh, and that he doesn't like my short haircut because I don't look like a "mom", and that he liked me better when I was "softer".
Not that I am happy my son wishes I hadn't changed and that it is kind of upsetting him...but Iam feeling pretty positive about the fact that I've changed enough that he actually noticed and felt the need to comment on it. Besides, it was sooo darn cute!
His father, for some reason, doesn't seem to have any of the same problems with the changes.
I went on the scale today and am down 2 lbs!!! I have been maintaining/gaining for awhile.. partlly due to my TOM. It put me in such a great mood that I had a fantastic work out before work today! yay!
Go on with your bad self! 
YAY!! I needed that after my "fat" week.
