Day 50 - Weight Loss Benefit --- Smaller Clothes

I went up to Belk last night to find an outfit to wear to a luncheon. It was fun to pass up the size 12s and large/x-large clothes. It is nice to be the opposite of the cartoon on the left. I knew based on my current clothes fitting looser that I could go down a size. I picked out some size 10 slacks and medium tops and took them into the dressing room. I would like to say I was surprised that they fit but I wasn't. There was no sucking it in and praying to the clothes gods "please let it fit, please let it fit, please let it fit." There was no exhaling after zipping it up and then to look in the mirror and feel like I am looking like Violet, from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. What you see in the mirror in the dressing room is important and I can definitely say, I had a better image of myself after trying on those clothes than I have in a long time. So while I did not leave the store with anything tangible, I did leave the store satisfied in the fact that I am now a size smaller than I was 7 weeks ago.

Today was weigh-in day at the Medi Weightloss Clinic. I am happy to say that I lost 2.2 pounds this week for a total loss of 25.8 pounds. Darlene, the dietitian I met with today was happy with my progress and told me that the weight is just melting off of me. I should just keep doing what I have been doing. So, next week...my prediction will be another 2 pounds. Thanks for the support. I appreciate you good wishes.
