Weighed in this morning at 223.1.
This is new territory for me — even when I dropped all the weight in 2010 I didn’t go down this far.
Today I’m wearing new GAP jeans (which I think run a little small) in their size 36.
It really means something when you can go to any store and buy clothes. For a long time I had to
look on the bottom shelf for pants that fit (because larger sizes are at the bottom). I remember
trying on a pair of 38″ Calvin Kleins in late 2010 and being so astonished they fit that
I started to cry.
I imagine if I was to reach a 34″ waist I would probably cry like that again.
The last time I wore 36s I was so happy for having even dared to try them on. I certainly wouldn’t
have even considered for a minute trying to reach down to 34. It’s different this time, though.
I’m thrilled beyond words about my progress. I’ve been doing this for nearly five months now.
I don’t have any illusions about getting down to my high school weight — but the idea of
getting into 34′s is mighty, mighty tasty.
