Eight Week Weigh-in

Weighed in this morning and I am at 182 even, which is a 4.8 pound loss for the week, and brings my total loss to 25.8 pounds for 8 weeks worth of effort. Yippee!

This weekend I was sorting through some of my small clothes for inspiration and I really do find it hard to believe I will ever fit into some of them. Particularly a pair of SUPER cute, size 6 (long) jeans by Tommy Hilfiger. They look impossibly tiny, yet I remember the moment I tried them on — standing right by the store display I yanked these itty bitty jeans on OVER a pair of shorts because I didn’t feel like going to the dressing room. I can’t believe I was ever that small! At 5′10″ tall, those jeans made my legs look like they went on for miles and miles. But honestly, it doesn’t seem possible to wear them, right now I can only get them mid-thigh! But I guess if I stick with what I’m doing I can get there eventually. It seems amazing to me that my body can grow and shrink so dramatically, like some demented magic trick. If only I could say “abracadabra” and slip those jeans on. Wouldn’t that be a dream.

    Oh man, you sure are heading in the right direction to get back into those jeans.

    I had a similar experience with some motorbike boots. These boots were made to measure, and went up to nearly knee high and were a good, snug fit. But after I’d had them for a while I did the whole Weight Watchers thing and lost a stack. At that stage I could put the boots on and do them up and then stick my whole arm right down inside them. Last time I tried em on I couldn’t even do up the press studs, let alone the zips. No way. Not even without socks. How did my body mutate so?

    Keep up the fantastic work.
