Some pounds are easier to lose than others.....

Nov 07, 2011

There are some pounds that seem to hang on there for ever !  Why did 183 stick around for ever; but 182 was here and gone in a week ?!  And now 181 is stuck like glue to me.  On the boards, I don't complain, but here, I do.  There are a few things I really WANT in this weight loss thing. 

ONE of them is to be a size 14 or lower.  Why ? And why does it matter ? Because some places, don't go higher than a 14, and I don't want to have to EVER go PLUS size again.  EVER.  And although I think I look darned good in my petite size 16's I really would like to see a smaller size.....however, in reality, I now see that I am going to have hanging skin, my belly and abdomen have....ummmmm extra rolls....and they are not going away.  The size 16 pants fit at the waist, fit at the belly, but are big in the butt and thighs.  Sigh. 

When I look in the mirror in clothes, I see a person I don't quite know.  And sometimes I kind of scare myself.  Looks like the clothes I picked out to wear this morning, but who is that human wearing them ???

It's times like this, that I tell myself that the slowed weight loss is a good thing -- it gives me the time to have some mental adjustment to who I am again.....but still, I would happily give up mental adjustment time for more losing time !!! 

Still hitting Curves about 4 times a week now.  Making sure to set my week off by being there on Monday mornings, and Tuesday mornings too.  Then it's an easy finish with either Wednesday and Thursday or Friday to finish the week up.  I really do prefer to go before work, and it seems to be working for me now.  I can actually feel muscles in my arms and legs now.  It is so odd to FEEL my own bones and muscles.   Exciting.  But odd .
