Still plugging away. Had a slight moment of "yeah me" today. Stopped by the local 'mall' and walked past Maurices. Have not bothered to walk into this store or even look into it in probably 15 years, as the name of the store should be "only for really thin people". Apparently they realized that not everyone is a size 2, or even 12. They have a "plus" size now.....I saw the clearance signs and thought "why not", but in my mind thinking "never". I picked out several things and found myself in a changing room. To my delicious surprise, several tops fit and actually looked cute. I tried on a pair of pants and a pair of shorts. Very tight, but, they fit! Because of the sale/clearance prices, I bought them and now have them as a goal for the future. I know that some people out there will appreciate the glory of fitting into clothes that were once thought as impossible. It gives me motivation to continue.
I am still a slave to my food journal. Eating loads of bad stuff is something I won't do - I don't want to write it down (I know I have said this before). Perhaps with this journal, I have also started to realize that I don't need to eat, even when I want to - fully knowing that I am not even hungry. Now, at the night, when I want to eat, I do crunches on a weighted exercise ball while watching TV....drinking a large glass of water.
WHATEVER WORKS!
