WEIGH IN DAY 3/21/12

DOWN ANOTHER POUND! I am just so excited! And thankful! (I give You the glory, Lord.) And looking forward to all the mini-goals I'm reaching...all leading up to the finish line:  the goal weight range for my body. I'm feeling so much better, both physically & mentally. The encouragement and support of so many friends and family has been a huge part of my success. I honestly couldn't do this without your loving support. You keep me accountable. You help me to stay positive (especially when I'm feeling down). You inspire me.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I sat down earlier this week and set myself up with some mini-goals in 5% increments. I am very close to losing 15% of my starting weight...very close. I'd love to reach that by next WW mtg, but two weeks from now is probably more realistic. I wrote all of them down and have posted it in my weekly WW weigh-in card so that I can visibly see it and mark it off (with the date) with a red pen each time I reach one. I also have other mini-goals in mind. For instance, when I reach "One-derland" (aka: being out of the 200s), then I've asked Don to buy me a running skort (or something similar). I cannot wait to reach that goal -- because I've got a really cute one picked out! *lol* If you remember from an earlier post when I reached my 10% goal, I said that I wanted to be at 199 (or less) on or before the end of May...I think I may reach than sooner! (What a blessing that would be!)

I also decided after the amazingness of last week (buying smaller size pants, etc.), that I was NOT going to hold on to all of the size 20/22 pants and 2X tops. Because I am not going back there. Not gonna do it. A good friend could use the tops, so I gave them to her. The bottoms I put on a FB swap-shop page and have already sold most of them. That money is going into a special envelope just for me -- it's the "Cindy needs and wants another good sports bra" fund. :) Let me tell you, bras aren't cheap -- especially for us large-chested gals!

Which  brings up another subject. Last week at my WW mtg the gals were "complaining" about losing weight there. I rolled my eyes! "Are you kidding me!?" I said. "I only WISH that's where I'd lose weight!" Now, while I may not have always been fat, I have always had big boobs. I'm not making this up when I say that in my teens I weighed anywhere between 100-115 pounds --- and had a C cup (sometimes D, depending on the style). Ask any of my family! True story. So when anyone complains about not having boobs or losing weight there first, I just wanna smack 'em! *lol* But on the other hand, I would much rather have these big ol' things than a set of hips...but that's just me. And if scientists ever figure out a way to suck boob fat out and inject it into others who want bigger boobs, then I'll be the first in line to share the wealth! Lord knows I have enough to give 10 ladies the desired C cup and still have a DD cup for myself. *lol*

Okay, enough of my rambling. Love ya'll!!!
