Again, I know I'm really late in posting this.
Last Friday's fantastic Friday was another pound GONE!! Putting my total at 35lbs! =) I have a number in my head (I'm 5 lbs from reaching it) and when I reach it I'm going to post my numbers! I haven't had the guts to do that yet!! But, I'm feeling more and more confident now. I am NOT that person anymore. I will NOT go back! I KNOW it!!
I celebrated this lovely Friday with a new hair cut, new clothes, and a new purse! =) Clothes shopping was my favorite! I finally decided I needed to go get some new (smaller) clothes. Honestly, I had been putting it off for fear that I would still be too big for the smaller size. Well, I picked up the next size down from what I had been wearing. And right behind that size was the next size down. I decided to pick that size up, too! Not sure why, just felt the need to try! I thought it would give me an idea of how much further I needed to go before I could fit into them.
So, I took my items into the dressing room. I decided to try on the smallest size first. Just to get it out of the way. I told myself as I was putting them on, "Now don't be upset, you know they aren't going to fit, and that's ok!" Well, I put them on, and they came all the way up with no problem. WHOA!! Next, I go to button them, and they buttoned right up without a problem. SO SHOCKED!!! I'm still amazed as I type this almost a week later that I'm wearing this size! It's been 10 years since I have worn this size!! I LOVE it!! I am re-motivated ALL over again!!!
Thank you AGAIN Pearl & Serene for writing this book!! I love you so much for it!!
What an encouraging post. I got down a size pretty quick because I am nursing and it was pregnancy wieght. Well those smaller jeans got dirty yesterday and the only clean ones I had were a size up. I had to roll the waist band. It was nice. 35 pounds is just incredible.
ReplyDeleteThat is incredible!!! I can't wait til I can say 35 lbs down! It has to be so gratifying to wear two sizes smaller :) You are doing great! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you so much for encouraging us all!!! That must be a great feeling to drop two sizes!!! Can't wait for you to share pictures. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThank you all!! I have to say it's very surreal to say that I've lost 35 lbs. I can't believe I've really done it. I know that if I can do it, ANYONE can do it!! =) You will ALL be telling me you reached 35lbs, too before you know it!!
