I weighed myself on Friday and I had lost another pound. I'm down to 219. Nice to be in the two-teens. I'm anxious to get down under 210 and then 200. I feel better but my body still feels so big and heavy to me. I'm hoping once I'm under 200 that I'll feel lighter.
On Thursday I went shopping. My sister-in-law's 40th birthday celebration was Saturday night plus we have a night in August where we are going out in Seattle with friends. I needed a "going out" summer outfit. I really like the outfit that I got...white capris, a floral, floaty tank and a turquoise cardigan. Very pretty if I do say so myself. While the tops were the same size that I have been (2X) the pants were size 16, two sizes smaller than the white carpris that I already owned. The old ones are now in the giveaway bag! I love the pants and I do feel like they make me look thinner. All of my pants are so baggy that I got used to it. I can finally see a difference in pants that actually fit.

This is great news! You are really doing well. The new pretty clothes will keep you motivated!
I thought of deliberately wearing things which are now too small just to remind myself all day long- but I just can't face the plain discomfort and punishment!
Thanks JanF! It's pretty exciting. In all my years of trying to lose weight, I've never gone down a size. It makes it seem so...real. It's really happening!
I've tried the wearing-too-small-clothes method myself, but I have to tell you that it totally backfired. After a day of feeling miserable both physically and emotionally, all I would want to do is comfort myself with food. Building myself up by wearing clothing that I feel good in works much better than punishing myself.
That is good advice, thanks. I guess I have to face the fact that the years (and giving birth even though it was only once!) have changed this body! I just love my dresses and can't bear to say "goodbye forever!". Silly innit?
Well done to you.
