That's my current status on facebook. Last night I decided to pull out "that box." You know the one, the one where you've tucked away all those clothes that you wish still fit, but they don't, but you keep them around anyway. Then you torture yourself by pulling them out every once in a while, trying them on, and realizing you're still too fat to wear them. Oh wait, that's just me? Tell me it's not just me! :)
Last night while I wasn't able to comfortably fit into my skinniest pair of jeans I have on hand, I was able to button and zip them. These are jeans that I last wore the summer of 2007 and they haven't fit since. My goal is that before summer hits I will be able to wear these comfortably.
As of last week's weigh in I was only down 10.8 which doesn't seem like a lot (at least to me when I have so far to go) but my body is definitely changing. My friend Vanessa always tell me don't pay attention to the scale, but rather to how your clothes fit to know how you're doing. Well now I know what she meant. My current jeans are loose on my hips and I almost have to hold them up when I'm going up and down stairs. My shirts don't have that belly bulge as much as they used to. And I'm wearing certain items that I haven't worn in 2 years.
Change is work. Change is hard. But oh man, Change is good!
