So... this day started well, with me down two more on the scale...
So happy, I decided to go shopping. Went to the same store where I recently bought my first ever size 20s, and decided I could do an 18. The 18s fit-- about as snug as the 20s were when I first bought them, which was only about a month ago...
Emboldened, I tried on some more 18s, 20s, 1Xs and 2Xs... all the jackets were too tight. The 2X fitted shirts were tight, and even though I KNOW that the 2xs wouldn't have fit me AT ALL before, I still was kinda discouraged...
So, I decided to go next door, to the chichi food store where they have great fish-- as well as all kinds of high end baked goods and just every other good thing.
Started shopping, everything going fine, went through the baked goods section-- still doing okay.
Then, all of a sudden, I was so hungry that I felt like I was going to faint, and I started looking all around, checking calories on everything, trying to find something to wolf down right then and there.
Suddenly, I came to my senses and decided I needed to go home and eat. I was sort of out of sync because I ate breakfast late and so only had a partial lunch.
As I was getting into the car, I was thinking how weird it was. I wasn't even feeling hungry when I went in the store. I don't know if it was just that I was below my calories and seeing all that food suddenly triggered my hunger, or if it was some underlying discouragement from realizing that 44 lb weight loss or not, I'm still basically a size 3 plus.
When I got home, I made myself a healthy on plan sandwich and ate it, and I'm fine now, but I don't want that to happen again.
