View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
Work is a little slow this morning. It looks like the rest of the week will be pretty busy, though. Yay!
Getting dressed this morning I noticed that my size 20 clothes are getting baggy. I remember squeezing into them in May. I ordered an XXL t-shirt for the company party this past weekend and it was too big. I remember when I ordered it I was worried that it would be too small for me. I still don't see myself as 60 lbs lighter. Weird. I put on one of my hubby's XL t-shirts last night and it fit. I was shocked. It was a little tight in the chest and hips, but of course it would be--I'm a girl! The rest of it fit, though. I was amazed.
I have two t-shirts and one sweat shirt that are almost 10 years old. They fit me well when I lost a bunch of weight back then. I am only a few pounds from getting into them again. I don't remember having this loose skin back then, though. But, that was a long time ago. Part of me can't believe I am so close to where I was 10 years ago. Everyone back then said I looked pretty good--even my Dad who has always been "gently" critical of my size. When I see myself I still see someone who has a ton of weight to lose. Could it really be that I only have 50 lbs left to lose? That seems like such a small number right now.
I've been going down a size every 12 lbs, or so. I was thinking that a size 12 would be good for someone with my body composition. That would be three sizes from where I am now. That would be about 40 lbs from here. I remember shopping with my cousins when I was younger (who were NOT overweight) and they were wearing size 10 and 12. That should be good for me. We have similar sized frames. One was taller one was shorter
I need to get someone to take a full-length picture of me so that I can look at this more objectively.
Update: I have decided to officially declare myself vegetarian. The kind that eats fish, that is. Pesce-vegetarian, maybe? Whatever. My hubby has been vegetarian his entire life and I have never been a big meat eater. My meat consumption has contained less and less meat with every passing week. I bought a roasted chicken last week and it didn't taste very good to me. The last chicken before that one didn't taste very good, either. So, I am going to decide to just be through with it completely and see how it goes. Since my cholesterol tested borderline-high a few months ago, I quit eating eggs and backed down on the cheese. I tried egg-beaters but it just wasn't the same.
I was supposed to be busy this afternoon but I can't get the information I need to get the work done. The account manager has disappeared...
