  • Monday CC Roll Call - 1/18/10

    Afternoon all. Happy day off to those of you that had one (I'm not one of them).

    You totally ROCK, A2G!!

    Well thanks, Niko, I am feeling pretty decent about my overall weight loss these days. I dropped another 2 pounds today - woohoo!

    I would *really* feel better if I could ever get rid of the double chin I am sporting. It has gotten significantly smaller/thinner over time (side to side, but not front to back), but thinner apparently has made it more wobbly also. Sort of like a turkey wattle, LOL! If I can ever manage to peel that off, I will think I look a lot better even if I only weigh slightly less. I focus on it when I look in the mirror, and feel it several times a day - it feels weird, like putty or something.

    Currently analzying my clothing situation for what seems like the umpteenth time in the last 6 months... this will actually make the 3rd or 4th time I have resorted my closet since last summer. 2x shirts fit great for the most part (some are too big, but I think they are probably just cut big)... 46 pants are entirely too big though extremely comfy, don't have hardly any old 44s laying around but the ones I do have fit well and look much more slimming without all that excess material flapping around, can get 42s on and zipped/buttoned with no problem but not sure I would be comfy sitting around in them all day after having gotten used to the big ol' baggy 46s I have been camping out in, LOL!

    I keep having to re-sort clothes because there is such variation in these bigger sizes... plus I guess my shape keeps changing a little. One 2x might barely go on and cover me enough to go out in while another one is sagging off of me everywhere. I sort stuff and separate them, and within 2 months they don't fit at all or don't fit the same as they did. Hopefully as I get into smaller sizes that will become less noticeable. Actually, another 20 or 30 pounds and I think I won't have hardly anything left to wear other than some polos and tshirts, so I will be shopping (this is not a reward for me, I HATE shopping, LOL!). I am already wrapping my belts around to the loop by my ribcage, hoping to avoid shopping even for that until it is absolutely required, LOL!

    Ok, off to find better fitting pants.

    Happy Monday, all.

    You crack me up..lol. I've kept a pair of jeans that are huge...but they're going away tomorrow. I've started bagging up the clothes that are too big and craigslisting them. If they're out of the house, there's no way I'm going to let myself get back into them. As for shopping...I hate going out to do that, so the majority is done online..whoohoo! For the time being, my clothes basically consist of drawstring yoga pants and oversized sweatshirts. I don't see the point in blowing a boatload of cash until I hit goal. Being a sahm, though, that's okay. If I had to work outside the home, it would be a different matter entirely.

    Congrats again to you on your weight loss...and it's time to invest in a new belt..lol.
