25lbs!

I'm pretty stoked! This means I'm a quarter of the way there. It's finally getting into the 'I really mean business' realm. If I were shopping and they had 25% off of something, that would motivate me to buy it.

It's the most weight I've lost since I was a teenager. Back then, 25 lbs brought me to my goal weight, which I held for several years. As I think I mentioned earlier, I usually get to around 22 pounds and quit. So, this is kind of a breakthrough for me.

Yesterday I went out to the thrift store and bought two new tops to celebrate. A whopping $3.26 expenditure. I'm not investing a lot of money in clothes that I won't be wearing for very long. Still, I like what I bought. Makes me feel pretty! Did I say that? I haven't felt pretty in a long time.

That's my blurb for the day. Ya'll take care now, especially if you live on the east coast!

Thanks Mary! Yes, there has been a lot of improvement there, but I still have 'issues'. I'm hoping it will work itself out as I continue on.

In stead of burning, you might consider donating old clothes to the local shelter as rags. Maybe they use something else out your way, but around here, they are on the wish list.

Thrift, yearh, if the clothes are wearable. I was talking about the animal shelter. They need rags around here, maybe there too.

Yes, perhaps the thrift store could use the clothes that aren't paint splattered. I noticed that extra large was hard to find.

My ole lady had clothes in every size when she started low carb years ago. She finally sold the good "big gurl" clothes on ebay.
comment by jjoohhnn on Feb 9, 2013 6:52 PM ()
That's nice, that she felt confident enough to kiss them goodbye! I hope to do the same, only my clothes will go to the burn barrel as they are not much to brag about.

I found a great website: https://www.closetcooking.com - lovely vegetable dishes (look in the Recipe Index) that I'm sure you can adapt to your current plan. Also: https://asianhomestylecooking.tribe.net/

Thank you! I worried that it was too 'all about me', but if someone can gain from it, well, nothing would make me happier!
