I had a much needed girls night this week with a new friend. I’m so happy this new friend has come into my life. I remember putting on makeup and some nicer clothes to go out. I immediately reached for the clothes that are way too big on me. It never even crossed my mind to try on the clothes that have been too tight since getting pregnant. I put on my oversized jeans and a belt to keep them up. I decided yesterday to try on my older clothes…..”Would they fit?” “Would I be disappointed?” They ALL fit, they all fit better than they had ever fit. I no longer felt “fat” in these clothes like I used to. I used to feel fat every day. After all my weight struggles I no longer felt fat in these clothes. I felt amazing, I felt tiny and I’m far from tiny but I felt good! I felt a bit mad at the Barbara 3 years ago that didn't feel confident in those clothes. I've worked so hard to get into those clothes.
I’m still following the same diet but it really doesn’t feel like a diet anymore. I’m finally getting used to it all.
This helps too.
Is it possible to fall in love with a stroller?
I finally did it, I bought my perfect stroller. I was looking for something lightweight, compact, comfortable for me and comfortable for Isla. I was so giddy when it arrived and it’s perfect. I don’t know why I went so long without it. The best part is I can now jog with Wally and Isla.
We went for our first run together this morning and I was exhausted, red and sweaty. Pushing that stroller while pulling a dog was not easy. It’s a good challenge though…..I just didn’t expect it. We went out for 30 minutes and Isla loved it. She was so relaxed and would yell “wheeeee” when I would run.
It even goes on sand after a walk!
I’m now at 19lbs lost and we’ll see if I can lose more. I’m not putting too much pressure on myself when I weigh in every week or 2…..I like a happy surprise.
