BLAH, BAH HUMBUG, CONGRATS....

So this past weekend I was feeling really down about losing weight. I had been stalled for a week or so. I was feeling pretty ugly and fat. I was really bloated because I was on my period. I knew this too shall pass. I was scared to get on the scale this morning because I was afraid it wouldn't have moved. Well when I stepped on the scale it said 224. I was like WHAT THE HECK!!! I had been stalled at 228. That was a 4 pound loss. I was pretty stoked. 

When I got home I looked on one of my support groups and one of the ladies posted a photo of her in some pants she used to wear. She was able to step both legs in to one side of the pants. This gave me an idea to try it with a pair of my pants. So I did. And it worked!!!! These pants are the pants that I wear on a regular basis because I am too cheap to buy a new pair of pants that I will grow, or rather shrink, out of in a few weeks.

The other thing I am fighting with is that I am one size in one brand, and a bigger size in another brand. Like for instance at Old Navy I am a Large, but some other companies I am a XL. These pants in the photo are a size 20, but I have some other size 20's that fit just right. I never ran in to that when I was big. When I was my biggest I wore a 26/28, or a 3X. I knew that no matter where I went I would be those sizes. 

I have figured out what I am going to do for my 100 pound party and my goal party. For my 100 pound party I am going to go indoor skydiving and out to dinner with my hubby. For my goal party I am going to go cage diving with the sharks at the local zoo here in Tacoma. I am so stoked. I only have 9 pounds to go til my 100 pound party.
