PLATEOFSTARS's CalorieKing blog
Wednesday, Jan 20 2010 - OH YEAH... who's in a size TWELVE for the first time in her life???
View PLATEOFSTARS's food & exercise for this day
ME! ME!!
You heard it... for the first time in my life I am wearing a size 12 pants. I bought them a few weeks ago and they were still too tight to wear in public.
I've bought a couple size 12 skirts but pants are a whole different territory cause I have traditionally had a big behind and rather large legs. Pants have always been a very sensitive issue for me.
So yeah, getting into (comfortably) a size 12 pant is a huge success for me. Even when I lost weight the first time, I had never worn a size 12... I was always somewhere between a 12 and a 14.
Even though I technically weigh about 5 lbs more than I was at my smallest adult weight... I think I may actually be "smaller" now than I was then just given the amount of toning I have and lean weight vs fat.
Guess how I'm going to celebrate!??? A nice big salad for lunch. Yahoo!!!
I love that I am back on track!!
I'm really hoping my trip to Mexico in a week and a half doesn't derail me. In fact... I'm hoping it only fuels my motivation. Being out on the beach in a bikini with still a lot of work to do will hopefully provide the motivation I need to not eat crappy food while I'm there. And my mother-in-law's discerning eye may help too....

That is AWESOME!! Congratulations! And I bet you're TOTALLY right about being smaller - that happens to me, I've gained weight but when I'm exercising well I'm smaller than at lower weights... crazy, confusing - but all good with the size 12 (YaY!@)
