I just HAVE to tell you!!!

[EverLosing]

I've been building a really small goal wardrobe. Not the ultimate goal because I have no idea what weight or clothing size it will be. I have been buying jeans one or two sizes too small for me.

I needed a boost today. I'm stagnant in the mid 180's and I'm strictly on plan, yet not dropping the pounds left and right. The size 10 jeans fit me today!!! SIZE TEN. I'm 186 lbs and I'm wearing size T-E-N!! I'd sit around and wonder how on earth that's even possible but I KNOW it's the weight bench. I'm soooooooo glad I started lifting weights as soon as I restarted Atkins!! My body has curves, tone and muscle. I can see sexy and hot again when I look in the mirror! I LOVE IT!!!! Nothing is better than a hot new smaller pair of jeans....and let me tell you, I rocked those jeans all over the grocery store today!!

Re: I just HAVE to tell you!!!

Thank you for all of your comments! There comes a point where it feels like the scale slows down and we have to learn to celebrate all of the victories instead of just the scale!

I met my best friend at a store yesterday. I had my big entrance planned. Then I couldn't find her and called her cell. I was walking toward her and she didn't recognize me right away! LOL! We could see each other and we were both on our phones, and she said, "Oh my goodness, I didn't know that was you! Awesome! You're right, the further along you get to your goal, the more difference there is in just a few pounds lost." We spent a lot of time shopping and she kept staring at me. She's a few inches shorter than me but I'm easily 25-30 pounds more than she is. I stood there in size 10's and she acted like she was going to cry wearing 11/12 jeans. She said, "You realize it's going to take me awhile to accept the fact you're wearing a smaller size than me, right?" Adjust away, skinny girl!!

Um, yeah, well humility is not something I've ever been known for! I haven't rocked any jeans since I was too young to be rockin' anything!!! So, I'm enjoying it now! I don't want to be a size 0, needy, girlie attention whore or anything but this IS becoming fun!! I need the boost right now. I have something coming up in a couple of weeks that's going to require every ounce of good self esteem I have!

By the way, those jeans felt so good, I fell asleep in them!! LOL!! Gotta wash them today!

3 lbs away,
COMING SOON: I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE LOST 50 POUNDS!!!

Yeah, humility, not my cup of tea. I'm high on this WOL right now!

Re: I just HAVE to tell you!!!

That is awesome. I am having a similar experience to yours. I have been in the 220's for weeks now but I bought a pair of size 14 pants just the other day as motivation to fit into them and guess what? I went home tried them on so I could see how much I'd need to lose and they fit!!!!
Isn't it awesome?????
