A Mark of Success!

During the holiday season, I put on some extra padding. I’d say it was there to keep me warm, but the truth is I was just getting rather large. How did I notice? Well, for one, my clothes weren’t fitting.

Loose T-shirts started becoming skintight. I literally only had one pair of dress pants I could fit in and my jeans basically were useless. So I did some shopping and bought some new, larger gear to accommodate that “extra padding.”

I have to mention this because I’ve come a long way since then — over 40 pounds of weight loss!

Just last night I was getting ready to go out and I had a clothing dilemma. The same pants that I bought to accommodate the weight gain were over 4 inches too big for me. There are two pair that I cannot even wear anymore.

So if you’re at the point where you feel like larger clothes is the only option. Don’t buy them! The best way to really feel comfortable in those clothes is to take on the challenge and give your body the exercise it needs. Trust me, it feels much better having to buy the smaller size!!

  2. I need new sweats for winter. I won't buy anymore until I can buy a smaller size. I am not updating anything in my wardrobe unless it is smaller.
