Today was my weigh in and I wasn't really nervous. In fact it isn't something I dread even when I know I might have water gain or what-not. Anyways, heres the "skinny" I have officially lost 20 lbs! I hit my second goal that I made for myself. I was really excited. Another great thing is a co-worker of mine (actually a support manager) asked me last week if I had lost some weight. It put me on cloud nine! This person had no idea I was attempting to lose weight as it is something I don't really discuss with anyone. When I first began blogging about weight loss I had mentioned how this was my journey and I was going to keep it away from the social media and my work peers. I continue to feel that way and would rather relish in all the compliments that will hopefully start coming my way.
I don't really think I look much thinner. I mean 20 lbs is a lot, but really on my frame and my size, it isnt't going to be as noticible as it would be on a thinner person. BUT, I can say that my clothes are looser. When I bought clothes for our 4th of July vacation, I had bought many shirts a size smaller and my pants that were starting to get snug, now can be yanked down without being unbuttoned. I haven't really lost a pant size yet, but the ones I was wearing before were obviously too tight.
I am very proud of myself. I have been able to make good choices and if I want to have something I have it. I just control my portions. Losing weight is such a hard thing to do but it is such a simple concept really. Eat less, move more and you will lose weight. I think about how losing 20 lbs is only 1/4 th of what I want to lose, and that its taken me 78 days to lose it but I am happy, and I know that it is much more than losing weight, Its about becoming stronger and gaining confidence I didn't have before.
