kathleeng48's Journal, 12 October 2019

My scale is broken so I am guessing. There is another reason I am guessing. It is because I have visibly lost a lot of weight since my last weigh in. The inches have really come off, and clothes are hanging. I can't fit in extra large anymore. They swim on me.I am wearing regular size clothing. In fact, I put on a gown recently for a wedding because I refused to buy a dress. I found it in my closet. It had been well over 25 years since I last wore it. It fit like a glove, and it was a 14. I am a big boned fairly tall woman, so that is not bad for me. I think I might be better off not weighing myself and just using clothes as my guage. The scale was all over the place and I would get depressed. Now I just write down what I eat every day and try on smaller clothes to check. It seems to be working. People who haven't seen me in several months commented on the amazing weight loss, so something is happening.

Fabulous!!! I have found that the scale will eventually follow and settle down. How clothes fit is definitely a great gauge I love the dress!! Classic styles always seem to be "in style".

Thank you everyone for your supportive comments. Fitting in that dress after all these years really made the dietary changes worthwhile. It is hard not to get on the scale. Of course, I will have no choice when I go to my endocrinologist next month. But he has always been supportive, maybe because I have no weight related physical ailments.
