WW Weeks 24 & 25

These Weeks: Last week I was down a little over half a pound, which was disappointing, but you know what? It's okay because I keep looking forward. In the past, I would usually be discouraged by lower number losses and give up and gain it all back. Maybe that's why I'm successful this time around- I just keep going no matter what the scale says. My weight is heading the right direction for once in my life and I keep on going. Even my leader, who asks 'how I do it' every time I hit another 10lbs down, always hears that I'm staying on plan and just chugging along.

When I stepped on the scale this week I didn't know what to expect. I was shocked to see a 5.4 loss! I've been eating all my daily points, all my weekly points, AND all my activity points. This diet plan is not starving me like others did when I tried them before.

I did have a pretty cool experience at Lane Bryant the other day. This week I went through my closet trying on things to see what still fits well enough and what is just too damn big. Turns out I only had 1 pair of pants that actually fit. Went with my mother to LB to get some new jeans for us and I actually tried on a pair of blue 18s and they fit!! I didn't have to suck my gut in, the pants' seams weren't screaming for mercy, and I could sit down while breathing! I started my journey at a TIGHT size 26 for pants, so this is pretty cool. :) I know that one day I will be too small to wear LB clothing any more, and that will be awesome and is one of my main motivators to lose weight, but at the same time is terrifying because LB has been my main clothing store for pretty much my entire adult life. I only had to go into one store, I didn't have to wonder about the others because they didn't fit me. But when they do, it opens up this bigger scary world of choices.
