So I was actually going to use my "Get out of weighing in - Free" card this week, but in light of events that happened this weekend, I felt good, even with the gain.
Two lbs....I knew it was coming...that's just the joy of the holidays right? I told myself that I wouldn't let it bug me and that I'd enjoy my holiday, but when I saw the 2 lb increase on the scale yesterday morning, my shoulders still fell. No biggie right? Definitely getting back on the horse this week and sailing through this month, even with Christmas and two birthday parties looming in the near future. How can I be sure that I'll stay on track? Mostly because of one little number...and that number is
12
Yeah, that's right...12. I AM A FRIGGIN' SIZE 12!!!!! I honestly can't believe it. I stood in my room, wearing a pair of size 12 pants, and I tried to choke back the tears...tried pinching myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I wasn't. It's true! I'm still in some kind of shock. I know that my "goal" is to lose another 30 lbs, so why should another size smaller be such a shock, but the final goal isn't one I think of on a daily basis...it's not the thing that keeps me going every day. It's the little things that keep me from getting that extra cookie or having that soda, and getting into a clothing size that I can't even remember the last time I wore is well above one of those little victories that I strive for.
The thing that made the discovery even better is that I didn't have to go out and try on/buy new clothes to feel victorious. The only thing better than new clothes are old clothes. We cleaned out our strage unit yesterday, and I found a container that held my precious "skinny clothes" from previous years. As I've mentioned, it's been quite a while since my ass saw a size 12, but not as long as I had thought. The pants and skirts I found I was wearing about 4 years ago, but was convinced that I'd never fit in them again, so I finally boxed them up to be donated. When I started losing weight and realized that I was very close - if not ready - for a size 12, I was kicking my ass for donating those clothes. Low and behold, Scott never donated them (Bless men and their stupidity sometimes) and they were all tucked away in an air-tight, dryer sheet-enclosed bin waiting for my discovery. Bully for me! I brought them home, still feeling some trepidation about the possible whale-in-spandex outcome, but I tried them on anyway, and then proceeded to run through the house screaming "They fit! They fit!" to anyone who would listen, and several who wouldn't. So, despite the gain, I am on a high of epic proportions, and will be sporting my skinny pants to work tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving indeed. :)
