It's been a good two days...
For the past 2-3 weeks, I've been stalled at 237-238 pounds and today--YAY!--I'm down 5 pounds to 232. The stall is over! So that was exciting.
In other news, some of you may remember me lamenting the fact that when I went back to work 3 weeks post-op, no one had noticed my 30 pound weight loss. Well, yesterday and today, I had a couple of people notice. I must admit that I'm sure it wasn't because I was down another 12 pounds, but rather that I had found some old clothes that were a size smaller and therefore fit me better. And, I must admit, that's exactly what everyone was telling me back when I posted my lament--that my big clothes were hiding the progress. Well, I got tired of having my skirts and pants hanging on my hips, so I scoured my closet for some old size 20s. I found 4 skirts and a couple of tops. I put something together and enjoyed a day of not having to hike up my skirt every 2 minutes. LOL. And I felt GOOD wearing those clothes.
So, now I'm thinking I might have to go clothes shopping. It took me losing 40 pounds to drop one size, therefore I'm thinking I may be wearing size 20s for a while and will, at the very least, need a pair of slacks and a pair of jeans. I'm done with the baggy-crotch size 22s! The good news is, though, that I have a TON of size 18 clothes that I look forward to wearing again soon.
