I bought these pants in March, 2013, for my first cruise. Of course, I never wore them (like many clothes I've bought through the years). The tags were still attached when I pulled them out of one of my tote boxes a couple weeks ago. Back when I bought them they fit very comfortably. Today? Not so much. Actually, when I tried them on, they fell back down to my feet. I had to hold them up when I came downstairs to have Bob take a picture. And here it is:
Note: I'm not stretching the waistband in this picture. This is actually how big they are.
I'm kind of disappointed I can't wear them; they're cute capris with rhinestones down the outside seams. Oh well, I have many more cute outfits to look forward to that will be much smaller. :)
Getting to the 100 lb. mark was tough. Not these last six months as a whole, but the last few weeks. I'm at the point where I can pretty much eat whatever I want in small quantities. While I don't eat junk food, fast food, fried foods, bread, or pasta, crackers and nuts are something I really enjoy now, just as I used to crave junk. It's especially tough at work, because people are always bringing in food. Plus, I'm unhappy at work, so I tend to want to make a run to the kitchen so I can procrastinate, waste time, whatever you want to call it. But I'm doing my best not to partake. And I'm no longer buying snack mix and crackers for home. I have them, yes, but I'm no longer buying them. Once they're gone, they're gone.
So, now that I've reached goal #2, it's time to look to goal #3: another 43 lbs. I'm thinking I can make that by October 1. My weight loss may move more slowly now that I'm six months out, so I don't want to be unrealistic.
I haven't figured out what goal #4, the final goal, will be. I have no idea what I'd like my goal weight to be. Actually, I don't think I really want to have a goal "weight," but more of a goal "feeling." In other words, my goal is to feel good in my skin, not self-conscious, happy with myself, and energetic. I think that's a much better goal to pursue than some number on the scale.
