Down in size again!

Well, I have been putting off shopping for clothes as long as possible because:
A: it gets expensive if done too much
B. even though my size 10's were getting baggy, I didn't want the disappointment of finding out that I am still stuck at a size 10 and that somehow it was all a ruse, that the size 10's in my closet ran big and somehow were really 12's...

Funny how we do that to ourselves mentally...don't really believe we have lost that much weight when we have worked so hard, so long. It is like we don't accept or believe we have gotten smaller. Sometimes I will look at myself in the mirror and say, "Wow! WHO is that?" I am so used to seeing the old person with a DD bra, size 22pants and 56" hips! Even now, my brain still thinks I wear a size 12 or 14! I guess that is because I have never been smaller than that since high school when I wore a size 9/10. I haven't been below a 9/10 since I was 12!

Well, today I am happy to report I am comfortably in a size 8! Smaller than high school....go figure! I weigh more but am smaller! That blows my mind!!

Last night, I went shopping at JCPENNEY with my hubby and everything he pulled off the sales rack was a size 8 pant and FIT! They all looked so good that I had to make a decision which things I would buy and which I would put back!

This has energized me to do more to get to goal...only 15-20 lbs to go. Next goal is to be consistent with daily exercise. I am getting in my protein goals and water intake goals...consistency with exercise is the next logical step.
