I spent the other night going through old boxes and organizing. I am a pack rat by heart so needless to say I had a lot of junk.(junk is putting it lightly….I had receipts from 2003..8p) When I got to a bag full of jeans I cringed a little I didn’t want to try them on. But I remembered the purpose of going through my things was to get rid of the unnecessary and to keep only the things that I knew I would keep. So I walked over to the bedroom door and locked it. The last thing that I wanted was someone walking in on me trying to worm my way into a pair of jeans. So I closed my eyes and started to pull the pants up. To my surprise they slipped past my hips and when I attempted to zip them up they zipped right up. I just laughed I was so happy. It has been almost a year since I have been able to wear a pair of jeans. I was no longer hesitant I pulled jeans after jeans and tried them all on. (they all fit!)
After this tiny bit of reassurance I am looking forward to shedding more pounds! This morning before I went for my run (Run! Yes run……I can run again!) I stepped onto the scale. I am down to 217lbs…this means that I have officially lost 10 pounds! I feel so accomplished so relieved that my efforts are not being met without reward. I have 10 more pounds to lose before the end of the month to meet my goal. I am looking forward to losing this overgrown person that I have morphed into.
