Down A Top Size

After feeling a bit weak from lack of what I must presume is overeating, I went to the gym and that feeling left me completely. I had some real results today, actually.

I went to buy a tshirt before the gym because I noticed a small stain on the one I was wearing. I found one I liked but they didn’t have it in my size. I was in a hurry so I bought the next size down knowing it would be really tight but thinking it would have to do for one work out. But when I got to the gym and tried it on it fitted perfectly. The arms were even a little loose!! Do you know what this means?

I HAVE GONE DOWN A TOP SIZE!!!!!!

So then I look in the mirror to see if it looks okay and I think, that’s funny, they have installed those slimming mirrors. I mean, it couldn’t be anything else, could it? I thought it a little underhand of the gym but put it out of my mind and went into the gym to do my workout. But then I caught sight of myself in the gym mirror too and it had the same effect, obviously another slimming mirror! Then it dawned on me, it wasn’t a slimming mirror, I had physical signs of the weightloss!! I was getting slimmer! I couldn’t stop looking at myself in the mirror but then a woman caught me admiring myself so I forced myself to go work out!

I have been in shock all day at the amount of changes I am suddenly seeing. I have only lost 10lbs so far but it has really started to show. How exciting!

On a more grr note my gym only put on a buffet today! I am not sure why but walking in the gym and seeing chocolate nibbles, crisps (potato chips), sweets, white bread sandwiches etc was rather disconcerting, especially after 65 minutes worth of cardio under my belt! But I was good, I refrained. I am still well and truely on the wagon.

    Congrats! I can’t wait to hit the 10 pound mark! And then the 15 pound mark. And, do I dare dream, the 20 pound mark! That’s really fantastic, I’m happy for you! I can’t wait until I can fit some of my old clothes again. It will be comforting to slip into my old cozy blue jeans again. (Who cares if they’re about to fall apart?) Keep up the good work! Sarah

    Congratulations!

    The first ten pounds is so satisfying, isn’t it? For me, when I first knocked off those first 10, it was a huge motivator - proof that I can really DO this, when I put my mind to changing my habits. Granted, I fell off the wagon and put a few lbs back on, but this week’s weigh-in should have me back to the -10lbs mark!

    Thanks, girls. Yeah, 10lbs is always pretty inspiring. I can’t wait for the next 10lbs to come off! Good luck to you all.
