Defeat and then Victory?
So let me start with my shopping trip. I went to NY and Co my go to store for work clothes. I tried at least 20 things on and got 4 items. None of the work pants fit right, the 4's were too big and the 2's too small. Err but I did get a pair of size 2 jeans! and a shirt that I really like. So then I go to the mall to try and find work pants and of course the mall over here sucks and has no stores. I ended up settling on one pair of work pants. I plan to hit up vanifty fair this weekend to see if they have anything nice. Anyway after this 2-3 shopping event I was STARVING!! I kept thinking should I get an Auntie Anne's pretzel? which I didn't because of how well I've been doing. I got home and ate a bag of freeze dried fruit chips and some quaker rice cake snacks. Then I made ground turkey strognoff for my boyfriend (using all low fat products, as I always do). THen I continued to consume a decent portion of that. My boyfriend didn't like it (he was being whiney yesterday). So I heated up an apple dumpling that my mom had gave to me, well he wasn't really into that either so I had half of that. I was so full, past the point of feeling good. I watched monday nights gossip girl episode (one of my guilty pleasures) and decided to just go to bed. I weighed myself to see how destructive I was with all that food and weighed in at 129.8. So whatever I wasn't all the upset. I woke up at 5 this morning to go to the gym and weighed myself (my normal weigh time) and I was 126.6!!! I could barely believe it. I went and checked myself out in the mirror and I was like that right there is the body I want forever! Not to be bragging or anything but everything looked so good. No excess fat hanging around. Then I put my high school jeans on and they fit! They didn't fit so good that I'd buy a pair that size (pants tend to be tight in my thighs) but there was room in the waste. So normally I wouldn't record such a low weight like this at the end of the week but I'm doing this for the fact that there will be a day when I am frusturated and want to give up but then I can look at that number and remember I was there. I say this not assuming that I will gain a lot of weight but that I'm sure there will be times when I put on 5 pounds and I feel like they will never come off. I'm still working on the maintence and I'm not going to push really low but if this number and look want to stick around, I'm absolutely fine with that! This body makes me want to rock a bikini proudly! NOw excuse me while I go order chinese food with my coworkers, lol. Don't worry I will watch my portion control.
Stay fabulous ;)
I need to add a little something here. Dadams and I are starting this thing where each day we post something that we love about our body. I encourage all of you to join us because I know somedays you feel like there is nothing left to love, well there is, so join us in finding it!
I love how my body suprises me. I can eat bad one night and be ready for a complete failure at my am weigh in and then I actually lose. Eating well and working out all the time can help keep your weight down even when you "take a night off".

Yay for size 2 jeans! God, that's something to brag about! So is loosing a total of 24.5 lbs, you go girl! So inspiring. Headed to J.Crew tomorrow, I think I'll be posting a really happy or really depressed, either way! I'm hoping to get into a size 4 jeans or capris - it would make my day :) :) Good luck this weekend, hopefully we won't blow our whole diets for easter sweets!

YAY! congratulations! don't worry about store sizes, they're silly and vary so much. but yay for the size 2 jeans! and for your confidence! you just have to remember how good it felt to check yourself out when there is lots of easter temptation around this weekend. oh, and make sure you drink enough water with that chinese today- usually a sodium/water retention bomb!

Hooray for size 2! How exciting :) And seriously, don't worry if you sound like you're bragging - you SHOULD feel good about yourself. I mean, it would be one thing to go up and talk like that to friends in real life (and maybe strange haha) but that's part of what this site is for. What good is losing weight if you can't learn to be happy and even a little proud of your body? The maintenance mentality I think is a really good place for you to be right now. (I mean, if you still had 20lbs to lose it would be a different story and I'd understand not wanting to maintain), but you're nice and thin! We're in the same place, I could lose a little weight and be healthy, I'm not pushing the anorexic look by any means - but at the same time we are thin now! Learning to maintain is super important, and then in a few months once you feel stable here you can always try to know off 3-5 more lbs if you'd like. Honestly, I think if we tried to continue with losing and dropped them now that I'd gain them back once I started to maintain because I need to get my body used to this weight first, and let it set itself before I freak it out. And hey, if we keep losing a baby bit during maintenance, that's okay too! Enjoy your Chinese - I had pizza yesterday! Yay moderation :)

Dadams you are so right! Maintence is always the hardest part for me and it's something that I really need to concentrate on. Start looking into what works and what doesn't. I have years ahead of me with this new body (hopefully kids don't come too soon) and if I feel like loosing those last few in a couple of months then I'll do it. I just have to keep in my mind how good I feel right now! and how I want to get married in a few years and look this good!
