One Christmas Gift!!!

Dec 20, 2009

My size ten pants are TOO big. The only bad part about it is that I JUST bought them two months ago and they were $40 (I'm a super cheap-o, so $40 is a lot to me!!) I almost thought... I should buy the 8s. But they were just too tight and I didn't want to be the muffin top girl. Anyhow... now, I have a pair of baggy (yet slim fitting around the ankles) Levis. Yay. YAY!! Hahahaha!! Whooooo!!! Sorry, just got excited.

And how did I do it? Well, I would like to think that my appetite just got smaller and I ate very little all on my own. But I think our bottled water was bad and had been making me sick very slowly, like the mother in Flowers in the Attic. After a horrible bout of travellers' diarrhea, I'm down to my goal weight of 145lbs and in a size 8. It's awesome. Of course I still don't have the smoking bikini-ready body that I've always dreamed of, but maybe I'll magically fall into 12K and be able to afford a lower body lift. (Keeping my fingers crossed!) The only bad thing is I lose weight around my face and it makes me look a little old. Bleck. I wish I could keep the fat there and lose the fat in my lower back/upper butt. Can't they lipo it like they did Geraldo? Haha!

Anyhow.... the real secret is to obsess over food like you did when you were first losing. I calorie counted everything, I even had my husband doing it when he would make me breakfast some times (awwwwh, my love!). And some times it feels good and empowering to be a say-no-to-junk-food-i'm-eating-healthy snob! Heheh! But we'll see how I'm doing after this week though. At least my candy addiction is totally gone. Now I've just got to keep it away from me and I won't crave it.

Merry Christmas to you and Merry Christmas to me! And Happy New Year OH -- thank you for letting me talk freely about my weight!

Ciao!

Jessie
