Why hello there 129.... and playing dress up

the 120s! wow... it's been a LONG time since I've been there. Getting closer to my goal!

As my clothes (mainly my work clothes) begin to loosen up, I've started feeling like a little kid playing dress-up. My size 8P tailored-fit Banana Republic pants are now so loose, I have to hike them up past my belly button and secure them with a belt, which creates that lovely bunched up waist look. I really do think now is the time to get my pants altered, especially since some friends have affectionately begun teasing me about it.

But, I'm not complaining :) At least they're not teasing me because the pants are too tight, right?

For fun, I'll take a picture and post it tonight. You'll have to let me know what you think.

Loooonnnngggg overdue post!!!

So sorry guys...I haven't posted in a VERY long time. No, it's not because I fell off the dieting wagon. In fact, I've been doing very well. After 8 weeks on the Medical Weight Loss Clinic "Jump Start" plan, I've lost 30 lbs! Only 10 more to go, woo-hoo!

Current measurements:

Bust- 37" (haven't lost much there, thank goodness)

Waist- 29"

Hips- 37"

I am pleased so far with my results, but part of me is still in denial. I was in denial when I weighed 161 and wore a size 10/12. As I've been losing the weight, I can tell, but part of me still doesn't believe I'm actually going to fit into the smaller sizes. It's like when you watch shows like "What Not to Wear," and Clinton and Stacy are making over the woman who lost 25 lbs, but still wears the bigger clothes.

I sometimes feel like that. It's almost unbelievable to me that I've finally done it. I've finally gotten up off my lazy bum and did something to take control of my health and physical and mental well-being. I wear a size 6 now, and it's been 6 years since I've been that size. It's exciting for me, but I still sometimes see the bigger girl, even though the weight is coming off.

I'm going to end this post with a current picture and a promise to post more often. I am not quite done with this diet yet! :)
