My restart is going very well. My fluff is long gone and I’m at about 4# so far this week (of course, some of that may be daily fluctuation).
This is how getting dressed went this morning.
- Put bra on. Dang, it’s really too loose, but it still works fine.
- Put undies on. Dang, these are getting REALLY too loose, but they still work fine. (These are the same undies I was wearing 100# ago.)
- Put jeans on. Whoa. They’re really too big. (They’re 18s.) In the pile they go.
- Change my mind and put on a stretchy skirt/leggings combo.
- Put on a sweater. Too big. I’ve been keeping it because it’s comfy but…it’s also very shapeless and not flattering at all. In the pile it goes.
- Put on a favorite shirt that I know has been a little big but still looks okay. Nope, feels too big. In the pile.
- Put on another favorite shirt that I know has been a little big but still looks okay. GRRR. Yep, it’s really too big. But I’ll keep it for now.
Funny how when I was bigger, I really liked loose-fitting clothes and that’s all I wanted. Now, if it doesn’t fit me PERFECTLY I don’t want it. Like the 18 jeans? They’re still definitely wearable with a belt, but why would I wear those when I have 16s that fit better? I hate wasting the money (I wore that $40 pair of jeans maybe two months at most) so that just irks me, but…why complain about needing a smaller size?
Ah, such problems! Ain’t it great??! I don’t have near the loss you do, but I feel the same way. They still fit “okay” but I don’t like how they feel. Snug is better and looks better! I have a pile of giveaways too. Congrats on your restart! I just may have to do the same thing to get to my second goal before setting my third! CONGRATULATIONS JEN! I would say you have had a very successful 2015!!
