Well, here it is, installment #2 of the blog of my new life. Not a whole lot to mention, but I didn't want all of you to think that I had forgotten about you.
The biggest accomplishment is that I hit 70lb of weight lost this week. Yeah! I am so happy, but, my body hasn't caught up too much because I am still wearing my same clothes.. ok, maybe not ALL the same clothes, I now wear a 2x top. The pants are getting looser and looser each day and this week I had to start wearing a belt.. I don't remember the last time that happened!
SO, I cleaned out my closet on Monday, Ok, I admit that I have a problem or better yet is it an addiction? I love my clothes. Fat clothes or not, I am sincerely attached to some of them... BUT I sucked it up and went thru both closets (yes, I have 2 closets of clothes) and seperated out all the BIG stuff.. I tried EVERYTHING on, Steve gave his input on how stuff fit and I made a couple of piles (sell or give away) I even put things in the give away things that were a little big... AND IT FELT GOOD!!
And then I realized something: As much as I loved the clothes, I didn't love the person I was when I was that size. And even though I am just beginning the journey, I realize they are JUST CLOTHES... they don't define who I am NOW...
Talk about a defining moment for ME! A mental victory today!
See, I used to be attached to my clothes.. they used to define me, but I am not that person anymore, so it's time to be rid of the old and start looking for the new me.
