Woke up bleary-eyed (it's just that time of the year) and yawning. Got coffee, OMG, now everything seems so big and bright. Back off, sit awaaaay from the screen until eyes stop watering. Ah, much better, am now two feet from the screen. *g*
I have to do laundry, but my bottoms are all in the wash. *sigh* Can't go outside in my underwear. Well, I could, but lets not go the route of all those trashy, floppy women who simply couldn't give a care about showing way too much! Please? Thanks.
OK, so that leaves pulling out old clothing from the drawers I stopped wearing because I got too fat to wear it. One item in particular was snug even when I originally purchased it. It's a denim jumper that comes to the knees. It's loose on me. *beam* Pulled out a pair of capris that were always too snug. They just fit, but they fit. Size 18. EIGHTEEN!
When I last was able to wear this stuff, I was on what I've always called my cigarette diet. I was working nights at a convenience store/gas station as a manager. The cigarette smoking came out because all these folks were smoking around me and I was addicted on nicotine just from second hand smoke. Yeah, they smoked that much! The cigarettes were the only thing I could find that was letting me lose weight (I guess I didn't know how to eat.)
I have no reliable scale to prove to me what progress I'm making, other than the clothing. It's hard to describe how I feel at this moment. Although I'm vaguely appalled that I've eaten so badly over the years that dropping sugared drinks and cutting down on fat has made such a huge difference. But I'll take the results, thank you. :)
