It just gets better and better...

Dec 29, 2009

Today was a great day.  What makes a day great?  Going to a job that you truly feel called to and love!  Followed by a fruitful shopping trip that involved buying size 8 jeans!  I am 9 months out and wearing a size 8!  Even better than I ever dreamed it would be by now.  I know that a lot of people lose faster than I have, but I am quite pleased with my progress.  I skipped a 10 altogether and I thought the 8s were probably a fluke, but then I tried them on in 4 different brands and all of them fit.  I bought 2 pair and a size M tank top. 

This is a huge blessing.  Especially after a tough few days last week.  The carb monster got a hold of me on Christmas Eve and I couldn't shake it until Monday.  There were too many sweets in the house and I don't have severe dumping.  I only get a little dizzy or a stomach ache and I've learned to beat the system by spreading them out during the day.  BUT, I found out that doing that only keeps me from getting sick.  It doesn't keep me from craving more and more junk and it certainly doesn't keep the scale going in the right direction.  Not to mention that I felt so much more tired and lethargic!  SOOO, back on track and feeling fantastic.  I'm sure I'll stumble again, but with God's grace I'll get right back on track and maintain my newfound health.
