157.5 today
Monday the 17th was my one year anniversary of Leading With the Diet. One whole year...365 days...I have never in my life stuck with a "diet" that long, never. --And I have no intention of stopping!
I still deal with leftover emotional issues of being fat for so long. (Yes, I used the eff word.) For instance, I locked up in the shorts section of Wally World the other day, having an internal conversation about which size I needed. Went something like this:
"You wear a size 14."
But the 14's look so SMALL. Better buy a size 16.
"You wear a size 14! Remember, the pants you bought last December are a size 14 and you have plenty of room."
Did I mention the 14's look small? You CANNOT be THAT small!!
"You are NOT a size 16 anymore! This is ridiculous--just get the 14's, for crying out loud!!"
It was insane; I mean it. I stood there so long I was afraid a sales associate was going to think I had intentions of shop lifting!! I had to force myself to pick up a pair of size 14 shorts and walk away, and even minutes later I was still debating whether they were going to fit. *sigh*
Anyway, aside from those momentary flashes of crazy, life is otherwise good.
