Transformation Tuesday

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
This week has been really exciting! I have officially lost 55.7 pounds. I am 5.8 pounds away from my original goal. That still just seems unreal.
I’ve noticed some changes lately that have started to sink in…
- I am eleven pounds lighter than my husband! Even when we dated I wasn’t smaller than he was. He has started to put on quite a bit of muscle and he now outweighs me.
- I can wear my favorite pair of capris again. I haven’t worn them in 6 years.
- There was a time that I wanted to finally let go of my much-too-small clothes, but I hesitated. I am so glad that I did. I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I just hadn’t given up hope of losing the extra weight.
- I’m starting to wonder if I may be clothes shopping again anyways. Even though I now have added all my favorite jeans back to my wardrobe since I can fit in them again, they’re getting loose.
- My favorite jeans can slide off without unbuttoning them. While that’s so exciting, I am kinda sad that I haven’t gotten to wear them for very long. Never thought I’d say that…
- Some of my sweet friends have started asking for tips from me. That is so flattering and I am so proud of them for wanting to get healthier too. It totally makes my day!
- Some days I still feel like I’m 55 pounds heavier. Some days I still get so down about it when I don’t see the scale move in the right direction. I think those things drive me to keep improving.
- I read an article last night that made me feel less neurotically obsessed with my scale. I know there are so many people that recommend not weighing every day. I’ve tried that and it is a nightmare! There has now been a study of weight loss success stories that support weighing every day.
- Weighing every day, at the same time, keeps me accountable. I can adjust what’s working and what’s not quicker. That number is always in my head….when I make the decision to eat a salad over a hamburger…when I pick playing in the yard over watching TV.
- I grabbed a pair of jeans out of the dryer to throw on without looking. Got them all the way on and zipped before realizing they were my husband’s. Never been able to do that…
- I learned that I now fit in small areas in the bilge of boats that some of our mechanics cannot get into. Don’t ask me how I found that out this week…
- And I took the picture on the right on Saturday….Comparing it to my “before” pic is kinda awesome!
