It won't be too much longer -- got my fingers crossed re your WI today - getting out of the 220's will be quite a rush on its own!
I just posted today's WI to my signature block -- I was thrilled to be down just over 2lbs. I have been losing pretty slowly since Thanksgiving (only one week of no loss in 6 mos), and today was thrilling because my weekly loss was back to more than 1 lb.
I was so psych'd after the weigh in that when I went to a nearby shopping center to pick up some curtains I had ordered before Thanksgiving, I saw a Comfort One shoe store and felt compelled to go in there... I spent $$$$$ on 2 new pairs of shoes... they feel like heaven on my feet, and they are practical for day to day wear, but they sure were expensive.....
And, undeterred, I then stopped by the local Drapers & Damons store and bought some new dancing duds on sale... I will be going to a dance party on New Year's eve and I now have a jazzy new top with bling to wear with my dressy britches (smaller pants that I already had on hand in my 'Closet of Many Sizes').
I feel like I went overboard spending today - but I also feel like I earned the right to some rewards after staying on program for 6 months and especially through the holidays. I have lived off of cheapo clothing items from Woman Within and Haband or Blair catalogs for the past 3 or 4 years -- unwilling to invest any more money than absolutely necessary in more 'fat girl' clothes. It was a wonderful feeling to find some nice items that fit, and it's great to be able to try on XL or L instead of 2X or 1X in plus sizes. These are small things in the overall picture, but it certainly adds to a positive perspective regarding everything.
I feel so ready for the new year and ready for the rest of this journey -- thanks for being here so we can make our journeys together!
