I uncovered the new THINNER me today!
Oh I'm sooooo happy! I'm not at goal yet but today, boy do I feel good!
I started out on Atkins at the end of June in a very tight 16. Most 16's didn't fit me. I'd keep trying on size 16 pants until I found ones that ran large and I could fit in (still very tight, mind you). I was actually more like an 18 but couldn't bring myself to go out and buy a larger size.
The last 2 months have been really slow for me in the weight loss department. I have managed to go down 2-3 lbs but no inches. I've been feeling kind of bummed about that lately. I also am STILL wearing my size 16 jeans. I didn't want to go out to buy new clothes just to have them get too big again in a few months (I'm cheap, what can I say!? Long sweaters cover the saggy butt!).
I was feeling down anyway and dumpy too because my clothes are soooooo baggy on me. I thought it may do me some good to go buy some new jeans. I was kind of playing with fire. If I got to the store and nothing fit, I'd be even more sad. I took the plunge today and went shopping anyway.
Good thing I did! I discovered I'm a size TWELVE!!!!! I even have some wiggle room in them! Little did I know, I must have been this size for the last 2 months! I had NO IDEA!
What's best is I look GOOD (and I usually NEVER think I look good -- even when I was thin in the past). I actually look . . . oh gosh, I can barely say it . . . THIN! Wow! Under all those baggy clothes I've been this thin for a while but it didn't notice because it was all covered up. It's amazing what clothes can do!
I'm almost at pre-baby weight and darn it, even though I was a tight size 10 then (at 150), I look and feel better now at a size 12 and 157! After all, the number does not really matter, it's how you look and feel that counts.
So I'm happy today. I feel like I unwrapped a present and it turned out to be the thin me that's been hiding away. And to think I lost the bulk of that weight in only about 3 months. Truly AMAZING!
Just thought I'd share my happiness . . . . .
