A couple Non-Scale Victories.

May 21, 2019

So I have had this pair of pants that my mom bought me years ago when I was losing weight. Even though they were about 6 sizes too small..I had been doing really good with my weight loss at the time and she was really confident that i was going to get in them. That was when my psychiatrist put me on Topamax and I lost about 40lbs. About 5 years ago now. Long story short I had to be taken off topamax because the side effects were getting bad. Gained all the weight back..And never did get into those pants. Well 5 days ago I was finally able to button them. Size 46in waist. It meant so much to me because those pants to me were like the one weight loss goal I have had in the last 5 years with all the weight i have lost and regained...and I was just never able to achieve it. What a feeling. I tried those same pants on about 3 weeks after surgery and I could not even get them past my thighs(let alone my butt). And now I not only can pull them up all the way..I can button them. Still tight in the thigh area...But still a great feeling. I did not want to attemp to sit in them though for fear they might split lol.

Also another Non-Scale Victory is I have finally been able to sit comfortably in a patio chair I have had for almost 10 years...and not once have I been ever to do that. woot woot!
