Can it be true? Do I weigh the same as my husband??
I heard my husband last night tell his brother that he couldn't put on one of his tool pouches because he had gained so much weight. He said "I am right at 178". I just smiled to myself. My goal is to weigh less than him but right now I am exactly the same weight as him. He has no idea, of course, but I do!
I'm noticing more and more in my clothes even though I am not losing the pounds as quickly. Still averaging about a pound a week and that's great, but my clothes are getting baggier. I have been giving clothes away be the bagful. I refuse to ever need them again in those sizes. I bought two pair of size 12 pants over the holidays and when I wore them this week I realized that I could have bought the size 10's. They were both a bit loose. I think I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I don't need to buy big clothes or clothes that have a "W" in the size. It's hard when you've done that for the past 14 years or so. I'm happy about it, don't get me wrong, but I still tend to buy clothes bigger rather than smaller.
28 pounds to goal. That just doesn't seem all that scary anymore. I've already done that a couple of times in the past 8 months. What's 28 pounds? But... can I really do it? Can I really get to that magic number? I've not been close to it in almost 2 decades... It would be great to head into my 40's healthy and feeling good. Really great...
