It's hard to change for the better, no matter what the change is -- losing weight, learning to exercise, giving up a destructive habit, practicing a good habit, whatever it is.
I feel very proud of the changes I've made so far. I'm down 20 pounds, I cleaned my cubicle at work, and I've packed up several boxes of clothes and other stuff to give away. All my clothes size 18 and over are going out!!! I vow I will never go back to being that size, even if I somehow miraculously get pregnant. (Some favorites are in there, though... I will miss my white sailor trousers, my khaki skirt, my bright coral-colored camp shirt... and I have to confess that I just can't get rid of a particular pair of black knit slacks I used to wear almost every time I gave a presentation at work!)
I've started putting my hair back in a clip instead of just letting it hang free. I wear earrings to work every day now, and sometimes a necklace or brooch. I guess the next thing to tackle in the personal appearance department will be makeup, which I've never worn regularly.
Speaking of earrings, my present to myself when I reach my goal weight will be to have my ears pierced, or rather re-pierced, by a dermatologist this time. I had them pierced in my 20s by a jeweler with an ear-piercing gun (not sure what it's really called). The holes never healed right, so I gave up wearing earrings. Now I wear clip earrings, and those suckers pinch like crazy!!!
I haven't started exercising regularly yet. I have a wild idea that I will run a 5K next year. Going from complete couch potato to 5K runner seems like one heck of a challenge. I don't know if it's a reasonable one. Will have to see.
Sending big waves of encouragement to everyone out there!
