First of all, thanks for the encouragement everyone! This last week has been kinda hard mentally for me. So that meant alot!
Sum38 -- CONGRATS!!! That is awesome
seize the day - hope your weigh in goes well. I am planning on camping in a few weeks, and not staying OP...so I am already dreading what the scale says when I come back, lol. Of course maybe that dread will help me stay a little more OP than I plan too, lol.
As for me.....ONEDERLAND today! 198.8 today. Whoopee! Funny though, I still don't feel I look any different than when I started. The hubby tells me I look great and I know I'm smaller, but I just feel like I'm slightly smaller -- but I have just as many rolls and fat. I guess when I started, I imagined 199 as a magic number where the fat would be gone, lol. Probably because last time I was 199, I was younger, firmer and I hadn't had a second child. Now things are a little saggier, lol. Need to pick up on that strength training to firm up!
I honestly think the whole mindset is part of my sabotaging myself. Refusing to acknowledge the progress so I can just give up and go back to how things used to be. Many parts of me like not working out and eating whatever I want, lol. But I want to focus on the parts that like being healthy, and enjoy shopping in the "normal" size clothes section.
Speaking of which, another goal met today -- I'm in my goal pants! They are a pair of Jessica Simpson size 14 jeans I bought 4 years ago when I lost weight the first time. I got to my smallest size (209) and could barely fit into these. Bought them, and didn't even remove the tag as I started gaining weight right afterwards. I kept them all these years as my goal pants again, even though part of me didn't think I would ever get this small again. Last month I couldn't even get them over my rear. Then I could get them up, but not buttoned. Then buttoned but not zipped. Then buttoned and zipped, but muffin top out the kazoo. And now they are on and fit! I am going to wear them in public today. So huge NSV for me
Hope everyone else has great weigh ins tomorrow. One more week ladies and gent!!!!
