I went shopping yesterday at Macys. I have been buying shoes lately because I hate to buy clothing that Im just gonna shrink out of soon. (I am a self proclaimed shoe and clothes whore.) I have to have some clothes though. I had been to Macys just a few months before and the jeans just would not fit. I was so mad at myself and disgusted and I wanted these cute jeans soooo bad that I bought them with the hopes of losing enough to fit into them. They were size 24. When I went yesterday, they had jeans on sale. I thought, well, I can always cut them off into capris if they fit and look good and they were super cheap. So I grabbed a 24... too big. I grabbed a 22.... too big. I grabbed a 20.... Shut the front door!!!! Tight fit, but they looked really good! I bought the jeans, a red Tshirt with a square neckline and an adorable pair of red sandals in an 8 1/2. I have been a 9 for the last several years. (This is gonna get really expensive.) Happy Day and now I have a cute outfit for the 4th of July. This got me so dang jazzed up about my weightloss that I went over to my Aunts house and weighed in on her new scale. (I dont keep on at my house or I will obsess.) It has been surprisingly accurate with staying with the same numbers as my Drs office. I weighed in today at 249. Im officially under 250!!!! Thats over 40 pounds off since I started this whole thing. I am doing really good. This is the first time I have ever lost this much. I had been on other programs and diets but I never was this successful. Im not hungry, although I do miss food, but I think that I am hungry sometimes. Late at night seems to be the worst. I just get bored and think I need something. I miss salads so much I think Im gonna die!!!! All the good homegrown veggies and salads available right now... its killing me!!!! I got my measuring tape out this evening. I hadnt measured since before surgery. Figured it was about time. I cant believe the inches I have lost. I dont want to get up and find my original measurements right now, but I remember my waist was a 54 and my arms were a 17. I remember because I freaked about my arms. lol Its funny to think about now, but I cried because my arms were almost the measurement that someones waist should be. When I measured this evening, my waist was 47 and my arms were 14. Although sometimes I think the weight is coming off too slow, I really think Im doing good. I cant expect it just to melt off. It took years to put the weight on and I know it will take a long time to take it off. Ive had alot of compliments lately. People really can tell Ive lost. I couldnt be more tickled about it. Im getting ready to go on vacation in a week. Im going to PA. I cant wait!! I am so effin ready to get out of this house. I hope there is a pool at the hotels I stay at. I want to get in and exercise with my son while we are gone. Im having trouble exercising. Not because its too hard, but because I find a hard time making it a priority. I hate doing it and can easily talk myself out of it. Im trying to surround myself with people who will work out with me and keep me focused. Well, I will shut up now and watch my movie I got to watch this evening. I will blog in a couple weeks and tell u how my vacation went. I might even post a few pics. Until then, xoxo ~Tipsy
