Okay, so I stood up perfectly straight with my knees together and I have a GAP between my thighs… oh my gosh, I can’t believe it!
Not bad for a girl who used to get chaffed from her thighs rubbing together just last year!!!
Forty one lbs weightloss, I feel successful!
Clothes are expensive and when I buy something I would like to be able to wear it for years but this past year I have to say that I have gone through tons of clothes. When I first started to lose weight I had a pretty decent size wardrobe and and I wore them for as long as I could. Until I started getting baggy britches and my shirts were hanging off where the used to fit tight. When I hit 150 I rewarded myself w/ all new clothes. I thought it was time. Everything was falling off!
But before long things started to just not fit right anymore.I am still wearing alot of that stuff now.
It is not just that I have lost weight but I could not have anticipated the way the shape of my body would change and that makes a huge difference in the way the clothes fit.
I started at a healthy full c cup and now I am practically flat chested. I don’t even know what kind of bra would suit my figure and I am not looking forward to that shopping experience. Bras are expensive and what if I don’t even like what I get? I have been wearing sports bras which are super comfy, enough to lounge around and even sleep in. But they make me look even more flat chested, haha.
And my butt, my husband is still crying over the loss of my butt. I think I lost most of my weight right there! So I did buy some new jeans. Hope they last!
I am not quite at my goal weight and I like to dress very casual, preferably not tight but not so big that I feel like a bag lady, either…
So does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how they make their clothes last longer during weight loss?
A little bit about what’s been going on w/ me…
My mom has been diagnosed with the onset of dementia, and more recently severe depression. If all goes well today I will be checking her into a mental hospital so she can get some help.
The thing is that I have had NO appetite. At first I just wrote it of to the stress and thought it will pass when things start to calm down. Yesturday it was around 2:00 and I realized that I hadn’t eaten anything all day and I was not even hungry, sooo not like me.
I forced myself to eat something small but didn’t eat again for the rest of the day.
My stomach is in knots and the thought of food makes me sick. I also have an anxiety disorder that i have been able to keep under control for years w/ the help of medication but all of this stress is really getting to me!
Today I will try to get my 1200 calories in, at the very least.
I need to stay strong for my kids and my family…
I posted my monthly progress pict. today…. no more big, black, boring swimsuit:)
Yes, I need a tan!
I started out my morning with a bowl of my favorite kashi cinnimon harvest cereal at 600 cals. which made it really hard for me to keep my cals down for the rest of the day. I was so hungry! So I ate 600 at lunch and 600 more at dinner, which left me 300 calories over for the day. I do so much better when I eat small in the morning! Tomorrow I will go back to my boiled egg and fruit.
today:
136.8 lbs.
cals.1800
exercise: 45 min.
So far getting up a 6:00 a.m. to exercise is working out. I am doing okay with the calories too and drinking lots of water. I am hoping that I can keep it up. Next weeks goal: 135.8 lbs.
today:
137.2 lbs
exercise: 1 hr.
cals: 1600
I made my goal weight of 140 lbs. and while I am happy with being healthier I was also surprised to find that my 30 yr. old 140 lb. body looks nothing the way I remembered my 23 yr old 140 lb. body looking… even after weightloss and toning (I do have some muscle in there and my abs are definately stronger) but I am still left with loose fat and skin… leftovers from multiple pregnancies I suppose. My next thought was if I can lose twenty more lbs. I can get rid of that too, until yesterday when I read that for my height my “ideal” weight should be 130-134 lbs… like who really knows what my ideal weight should be? So I asked Jason. He said if I lose twenty more lbs. I would have no tits and no ass, haha:) He’s probably right and that’s really not what I am going for… I just want to wear a pair of skinny jeans and feel confident that my rolls are not hanging over the waistband! Please tell me that this is possible… I sooo would like to see real examples from real people, not celebrities and without surgery! At this point I don’t really have an ideal weight so I reset my goal weight to 130 lbs. for now. I will work on that for now and just go from there…
Thursday:
136.8 lbs
1400 calories
exercise 45 min.
Jason and I have always had a system. Every night I put the kids to bed so he can relax and every morning he gets them ready for school so I can sleep in. So last night I asked him to wake me up when he gets up( at 6:00) and while he was getting the kids ready I went for my run. It was really hard getting up an hour earlier ( I am NOT a morning person) but I got my exercise in so I will try to do it again tomorrow:)
today:
138 lbs
cals. 1200
exercise: 1 hr.
Yes I am at it again: frustrated…
There has been some major changes in my life lately, all good stuff but none the less change leads me to want to EAT!!!
So… I am adressing the issue now. My new schedule has kinda thrown me off track and being super busy I havn’t taken the time to exercise. It’s not so much that I am overeating, or eating bad but I am eating more than I can burn without my exercise.
On a positive not I havn’t gained any of the thirty lbs that I lost for going on four months now. Meaning that I do not and will not eat the way I used to regardless of circumstances. I can adjust and I WILL lose the rest of this weight!
today:
138 lbs.
