Default Woooooot!

Bought a pair of size 12 pants a month ago, could barely put them on, they would almost pop and tear open if I moved. But I made myself buy them as a mini-goal. Started as an 18, then up until now was a 14.

Perused the closet this morning for work clothes and saw those 12s, popped them on, and they fit!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy! Wearing them now.

It's really amazing how much losing weight lifts your life. The only regret is that I didn't do this sooner.

I was 214 at my very very worst, and would go down to San Diego to bars, and guys would yell from their cars driving by hollering at girls, and one looked at me as I was watching him and said "don't look at me, you're fat".

Yeah. Broke me. Really broke me. For some reason I didn't think my fat was that noticable. But that was a mini-wake up call and a stinging kick in the ***. Even though I didn't try to lose weight right then, I still think of that time. I want to find that ahole!

YAY! isn't that such a great feeling? Makes all the hard work worth it doesn't it? That guy sounds like a real ***. That's so mean. When I was chubby I lived with a model and her super skinny model looking sister and the guys would always approach them but they' act like I didn't exist and the model would always tell me I was fat. Not to mention all the times I got picked on in school for being the heaviest. People can be so mean! Even my dad made fun of me!

Congrats!! Going down a pant size, for me, is the best part. Even better than the scale going down, because when you fit into smaller pants, you can really see that the inches are comming off. I started at an 18 too, and am now in a 14, and I would looooove to be in a 12!!! I haven't seen that number since the beginning of high school! Perhaps by the end of the summer? Anyways, thanks so much for the inspiration, and f*** that guy. And f*** that model too! Lets be thankful, you guys, that we would never be so shallow as to judge people that way. Let's just feel the love of 3FC!
