I had a lot to say, now I can't rememberAfter 16 weeks with Weight Watchers, I've lost 25.4lbs. I've been with Curves a week or two less, but I've lost a total of 15 inches according to them. Woohoo. Ruffles and Lays fatfree chips are GOOD!I went shopping in my closet this week. I had clothes separated into three bags: almost fits, doesn't fit, and I'll never squeeze my fat ass into these again. The almost fits stuff fits now. Even with people at work noticing that I'm getting smaller, I couldn't tell on myself. Not until I started trying on clothes that didn't fit me a few months ago. Things that were so tight I couldn't breathe or sit down now fit with room to spare. I like it. I'm the Incredible Shrinking Beth and I love it. My dad says he doesn't know how I lose weight when all I do is stuff my face. It's true. I eat so much more now than I ever did before. That was apparently my biggest problem. I didn't eat enough. My body was constantly in survival mode because I didn't eat enough to keep it functioning right. My body just kept storing fat cuz it thought it was starving. Yeah, I wasn't the brightest crayola in the box. I've learned since then though and it shows. That's not to say that I don't still feel fat. I do. Often. But I'm working on it and when I feel like I've lost all this weight and I'm still a great big giant heifer, I just put on those jeans that were getting tight in February and are now falling off my hips. That usually helps me see the big picture. A friend of mine wants to introduce me to a construction worker friend of hers. I really want to go on a date right now. It's been awhile. This friend of mine knows my new criteria: no violent offenders, no drug addicts/alcoholics, no drug dealers, no unemployed slobs. Isn't it kind of sad that I have to specify these things?? Anyhoo, meeting him could be a good thing. I think I'll go for it. Wonder if he has a tool belt heehee. posted by Beth 10:17 AM . . .
