You know you've lost a lot of weight when you're a whole size smaller than you guessed you were.
I am now a size 16 in Old Navy. Including jeans. I was so excited about the size 16 jeans that I almost bought them but they weren't on sale. I did pick up a pair of size 16 cordoroys that were on sale. I'd forgotten that Old Navy runs about a size bigger than anywhere else on me. I bought a shirt from there in a large tonight and it's a perfect fit (you should see me in the XXL stuff I have, it's actually comical.)
Came home and tried on some other stuff in my closet and I now fit into ALL of my slacks from NY & Company as well as jeans from there - I think I can officially say I'm back into that store. Some things still don't fit, but I was surprised to find a few skirts that fit as well as a LOT of my pants. It's kind of pointless to go shopping until most of my closet starts getting big on me but I do figure the new cords were worth it for a few months. Oh, I should note I have a pair of size 14 cords from Old Navy in my closet, so I must've been that size in there at some point.
It was a busy day, as I said last night I ended up working today for five hours (time and a half is something I won't turn down), by the time I got out of work it was almost 7 and then I went to Chick-fil-A which I now love because they put calories ON THE MENU. I so wish more chains would do that. I already loved them for their reasonable calorie level sandwiches but actually putting calories of everything on the menu brings it to a whole new level of love. Love!
I don't think my mind has caught up to where my body is yet. I don't know if that makes sense but let me try to clarify. I weigh 237 (per the last weigh in), I'm a size 18 (with the exception of Old Navy but their stuff runs bigger than most stores anyway.) I'm not huge but somewhere my mind is still thinking that I'm well over 270. So I kind of get these shocks when things fit or I notice some new definition somewhere. I don't know if it's because I see myself all the time or it hasn't registered yet or what. How long does it take before I stop automatically thinking that I'm huge?
I guess it's like the money thing too. I make good money at my job (by most standards very good money), but part of my mind is still thinking that I'm living on unemployment and making barely enough to get by. It's like my mind hasn't caught up to my reality that I'm a very successful professional who's growing thinner by the day. I mean, I guess by anyone's estimate I've already lost a lot of weight and I kind of see it in pictures of me or if I try on my old jeans but it doesn't register that I lost so much weight yet. Mentally, I still have to keep reminding myself that I'm not fat and poor. (Well, not that fat, at least - I'm still fat, lol.)
Affirmations for today:
1) Every day, I'm shining a little brighter
2) Change your thoughts, change your habits, change your mind, change your body, change your life.
3) My life has changed dramatically in the last three months and I am adjusting to my new reality.
