OMFG
I'm so excited.
Not about a house or anything mature or sane like that.
In a way, this is much bigger than that!
Today....
I think I'm going to wear one of my pairs of size 2 jeans to work.
OMG. All of you who read this know how long I've been trying to get back in size 2 pants.
Today I was still feeling skinny, so I decided to actually check my progress by trying on my size 2 pants.
I have three pairs of size 2 long and lean jeans from the Gap; for some reason, they all fit differently.
-One pair fit well enough to wear in public. This is life changing.
-One pair will fit well enough to wear in public if I lose like 2 lbs.
-One pair will fit well enough to wear in public if I lose 5 lbs.
And...
I tried on my wide leg trouser cut size 0s, and I'm only about 5lbs away from fitting into those.
So basically, I'm only about 5lbs away from reclaiming my wardrobe.
It's weird, but I think maybe I finally figured it out? Because while I'm about to fit into my clothes again, I'm not nearly as bony as I was when I was a 0/2 before. At my thinnest, I was all ribs, hipbones, and spine. Right now, I'm not really bony at all. I don't even think I'm five pounds away from bony.
Let's see what I've been doing, because obviously it has been working.
-Salads with lean protein for lunch.
-Lots of walking at work.
-Drinking only 2x a week. I think this is a big part of it. Lotsa calories in booze, and I was having drinks 3-4x a week, so going down to 2 cuts out a lot of calories.
I have to tell you...this is so motivating. If I can get back in to my entire size 2 suit wardrobe (not just the skirts & jackets), I will be SO HAPPY because I obviously won't be able to afford to replace my entire suit wardrobe any time soon.
To do list:
1. Shower
2. Put on size 2 jeans; feel hot.
3. Go to work. Continue to feel hot.
4. Go downstairs to banks and get pre-approved for a mortgage.
5. Eat salad for lunch while continuing to feel hot.
6. Call Liz.
7. Walk for 30 minutes.
8. Consider reorganizing files. |
