Last week I posted on Facebook that I had finally crossed the 25lb mark- as in I've LOST 25lbs. David is at 35lbs! His goal was 40 and mine was 27 but it appears that pretty soon we'll have to set new goals.
I haven't been too concerned with those numbers because it seemed like we were making such awesome progress that reaching our goal was a matter of when, not if. But I must be looking at the scale more than in the mirror because today I had a total "aha" moment. I spent my lunch hour today at Ross trying to find a wallet to match my latest fabulous find I got a new Mark Ecko purse after seraching for months and months for a new bag! Anyway, I found a few pairs of slacks and tops to try on and the sizes I grabbed were all too big, I mean like way big. It was a pretty exciting moment. In some stores I'm back down to the size I was as a senior in HS. Now I was no skinny-mini, but I think I was healthy. I don't really have a weight in mind. In a former life I was pretty opinionated when it came to fashion and I worked in HS so I could buy name brand clothes, etc. After two children and LOTS of weight gain, lets just say I didn't really fit in at Banana Republic anymore. So that was my goal and I'm almost there.
It's amazing. Growing up chubby it's like I became programmed to believe that I'd never be thin. "It's just in my genes' amongst other excuses.
