amanda123's Journal, 15 July 2010

I have been melting like a popcycle these last few days. 6 lbs in 6 days. Holy Cow! I am loving it but I know a slow down is sure to follow where I will be wanting to beat my scales every morning. I am getting better at not stressing over the number on the scale so much. I know if I am eating right the weight will eventually come off. I didn't put it on overnight and it will come off in its own sweet time. I went to Goodwill yesterday evening. I bought a pair of size 22 jeans - I could fit into a 20 but the ones I found were long in the crotch or something so I went with the 22's. They fit good. I also got me 2 really cute shirts. I bought 2 pairs of size 18 jeans...... they don't fit me.......yet. They are really cute jeans - bootcut and trendy and like brand new and I know they will fit me shortly. I could get them on. I just liked about 2 inches to be able to button them. The were just $5 each and I really liked them so I went ahead and bought them for the future. I think they will fit in another month or less. You know what else I need to buy? New panties & Bra's!!! I always just think - oh no one can see them so who cares if they are holey and old or just plain cotton? Well this morning I was digging in my drawer and found a cute pair there are pink and lacey and the boy cut type and I put them on and ............drummroll please....... I actually felt a little sexy!!! Wow! Haven't felt that in a while. So anyways I need to go buy some sexy new underthings :D

Amanda, being able to reward yourself with non-edible things are wonderful mood boosters. Good for you. Now go out and buy those sexy panties. Then throw out the granny ones. Even though people don't see them on you (except DH), they do make us feel prettier.

SO very proud for you! I tried on one of my son's XL shirt (just for kicks) I was a little afraid I wouldnt be able to get back out of it once I tried it on...BUT I did (get back out) It was WAY too small...but still... pretty cool. Made me smile just at the thought of wearing XL after having several 5xl and 4 xl shirts...

that is SO AWESOME!! BTW, I thought the same as you about the undies. I went last weekend and bought some new ones and was surprised to find the difference in how it made me feel!My bra band went down a size and my cup went up a size!(Panties went down a size too!)My clothes fit better and I feel better about myself in them. go get some new undies!! LOL !!

see that...thats great!! and good idea about the goodwill shopping. I do the same, its cheap and you can stash whatever it is away and keep trying it on until it fits like you want it to!

Tell me about it - the only way I am spending over $20 on a pair of jeans is if I am going to be wearing them a long time and they are super cute! Bargain shopper all the way! Now the undergarments have to be new! I draw the line there! I will buy a used bra if it's really nice but NEVER EVER in a million years would I wear used underwear unless they were my sisters. LOL!

Amazing job on the weight loss!!!Too bad we aren't still on our challenge because I am losing like you right now also. Those new jeans sound cute. Have fun shopping for those sexy undies. I need to buy some myself.

That is a great idea. I love me some goodwill and I siad I would not buy any clothes in six sizes but if you are spending 5 bucks for jeans its not THAT big a deal. You better wear your sexy unmentionables (that is what I call them). They always make me feel sexy...its funny how you always forget about unmentionables getting too big and then you wake up with saggy stuff happening. Girl six pounds in six days I would go running thru the streets. Keep it up!
