I had an exciting morning: when I got out of bed, I glanced in the mirror and noticed my stomach area looked even thinner than usual. So I decided to try on some Capri pants I had bought several weeks ago, that didn’t fit then. As a matter of fact, I had bought about 5 pairs (2 Calvin Klein and 3 cheaper branded ones) for summer last month because I figured I was down another size. At the time, it turned out I was not yet down another size despite the weight loss. So, anyway, this morning I tried on one of the Calvin Kleins… and they fit! Then I tried on all the other ones, and they all zipped up and buttoned with no problem. Yay!
Wow. So I’m down another size. That’s exciting. All my new Capri pants fit. And I now have a light tan on my legs. How amazing. Perhaps it is time to experiment with shorts? Not short ones, as I think I have some cellulite that I’m not eager to show off. But perhaps the ones that go down to the lower thigh area. If I do in fact wear shorts this summer, it will be the first time in YEARS. Major accomplishment.
The funniest thing about it is that yesterday I totally blew my diet and actually ate FAST FOOD (ick!!), plus today is the 1st/2nd day of my TOM! My stomach should be huge. But for some reason it’s slimmer. Must be from all the dieting and the more regular exercising I’ve been doing.
I love weight loss results! I will get on the scale when my TOM is completely over.
I still haven’t set up the ‘other’ blog I’m starting. I’ll get around to it soon. Tonight I am planning to hit the circus with my sister and niece. PT Barnum and Bailey are in town and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll have to remember to eat before I go though. I don’t want to be tempted by all the junk food that will surely be there!

Congratulations! I lost about 25 pounds last summer, so I can relate to the happiness you feel when you finally see results! My advice would be to not buy too many clothes until you’ve reached your goal weight because you’re probably going to end up getting rid of quite a few of them. Congrats again, message me if you have any questions about how I lost weight, or need motivation!
congrats for the loss:)
it seems like the weight is just melting off of you!! I envy you;)
How much more are you planning to lose?
Thanks Vanessa!
raluca, yeah it’s finally melting off after 3 1/2 years of ‘trying’ too hard. Turns out I was carrying the weight as a protective shield around me. Now that I’m dealing with my emotional issues and letting the walls down, the weight is coming off really easily.
Congratulations! I know it feels good to wear something you couldn’t wear before… Which makes me want to start over my diet *again*. I want to do it, start it and keep doing it for about 2 days. Something tells me this is not good!
Can’t wait for the new blog: I’ll follow it for sure when it’s up: I really like the way you write and how honest you are.
