Shopping has never felt this good!

Jul 11, 2009

Well, it's been a while since I have posted.  I am still losing weight a little slower than I would like, but I have to tell you I am happy with my progress.  I am extremely excited about the fact that I can go into a store and try on clothes located in the "regular misses department".  It's an unbelieveable feeling to like how you look in the mirror! Honestly, I feel different.  I am happy to try on clothes because my sizes go down instead of up so I don't leave the store feeling like a diet failure. I also noticed that the style of clothes change.  T-shirts are not as long, they are shorter to show more hip and butt.  I now buy colorful belts when I have the courage to tuck my shirts in.  I noticed that shirt designs indent in the sides more.  My only struggle is my arms.  Ohhhh those bat wings!  I am going to look for crop sweaters and work on exercising my arms more.

I have been holding onto my old clothes.  Don't ask why...mental thing I gues.  I have decided to donate them to a women's shelter.  So far I have seven garbage bags full of clothing.  Crazy huh?  Well, I am currently a size 12 and loving it!  My goal is to exercise more.  Wednesday I did 30 minutes on the eliptical machine (without crying )  It felt incredible.  I hope to up my routine to 3-4 times a week.  I am sure my lack of excercise is hindering my weight loss progress.  All in all I feel great.  I don't cringe when I see myself on camera.  I still see the same person in the mirror, but I FEEL different.  I think I will take some current pictures to see the difference.
