mcarthey's Journal, 23 July 2007

Just an observation, but why is it that I feel fatter the more weight I lose? I guess it just spurs me to keep losing, but it's kind of a pain. I find myself getting more critical as I lose more. Maybe it's because I was in denial for so long but have now started paying more attention to fitness and diet. Either way, I'm excited to keep seeing changes.
On another note, I finally got brave enough to put up a picture. I had to buy some new clothes so was going through pants to give to goodwill. I put on a pair of my fat pants and took a pic. I can hardly believe I used to wear those pants! It's crazy. I'm keeping the pants for a while to remind me. I also have a pair of 36's that I'm working to fit into. I surprised myself. I had bought a couple pairs of 38s thinking that I would soon be able to fit into them. I tried them on when I got home and they fit! It was a cool feeling. To me, that's even better than seeing the scale number because I can relate to it more. It seemed unattainable, but it's nearly here. Very cool.
Enjoy your weeks!

WOW!!! You are doing GREAT!!! You look great and I imagine that you feel great too! With the exception of feeling fat at times that is! I think that we all do, I know I do! You just have to keep reminding yourself that you are doing great and have come so far! Keep it up, you will be at your goal in not time!

I feel exactly the same about losing, especially lately. I wonder if I can ever get my body to a point that I am happy with it or do I just have to settle at some point. You have made such amazing strides, you are almost there!

I think that we all have that body conscious issue and maybe we will never be happy or satisfied with our weight, but the important thing is that we are doing something about it before it gets out of hand. I can say that even as a man, I know that the size numbers of my clothes is a horrible guage of what shape I am in, but they do matter to me. Vanity sucks!
