I am looking for words of encouragement.
I've been working really hard, and have lost 17 pounds since the end of January (and 20 total since having my baby). I've had a couple of people comment that I look like I've lost weight, and that's made me feel really good about myself. I've also had a couple pairs of pants that didn't fit at all 3 months ago fit me well enough to add them back into my wardrobe, which is also awesome.
But of course there's always gotta be something to bring me down! I've been fitting into size 16 pants from a certain store, and today a friend gave me a pair of size 18's from another store...and they're too small I can get into them, but they're skin tight. I know different stores size differently, but it's really discouraged me. Also, I found a document I had created the last time I started a weight loss journey (fell off the wagon pretty quickly that time, sadly)...my weight was a few pounds higher than it is now, but according to my measurements, my waist right now is almost 2 inches bigger!
Ugh, I was feeling so good about myself, and now I feel like a big fat blob. Does this happen to anyone else, where you are doing so well, and then something (or things) come along and just knock you right back down??
