On black friday I bought my first size 12's!!!!!!!!!!! They are a pair of green skinny cords from LOFT and boy do they feel good! I all but screamed in the dressing room, and actually told the dressing room attendent of my excitment... she probably thought I was a crazy person. Although I've been bouncing around from 178.5 to 181 for the last couple of weeks, I can tell my body is adjusting and the inches are still coming off. I have phased out ALL size 16's in my closet and I couldn't be happier.
The holidays have been rough. This is the first time I've really had a test of my willpower. I'm trying to enjoy myself but also trying to stay in control. For now, not gaining through the holidays is a goal, I'm trying not to kid myself. I just want to get through the next 3 weeks and we're golden. At this point, I'm not tracking everyday (I realize this is a no-no), but mostly just trying to make better choices and not over indulge.
Next goal in coming into view. I will be attending all 4 casino openings and will need some fancy new dresses. The first opening is set for April and I'd love to be comfortable in a size 12 dress by then. I know I can do it. That's just weird to type, comfortable in a size 12 dress, it makes me squeal inside.
I have finally come to terms with the length of time it's taking me. I had all these goals and dates written down and this would just set myself up for dissapointment. I've made peace with the fact this isn't happening overnight, heck it took 6 years and 2 babies to gain it, it's not going to leave my body without a fight. I'm happy with my pace and comfortable with it, it's coming off and that's all the matters. I just keep plugging away taking it one day and one week at a time.
It's crazy to think that my one year anniversary of following the WW program is just around the corner.
