Size 12....Finally!

So after 2 months in size 14's I have now moved into size 12's!  Yesterday I wore a skirt Karen gave me after support group and it was a size 12, not even stretchy material, so this morning I decided to try on a pair of size 12 capri jeans and they fit too, plus I am wearing a size medium shirt!  I think a part of my was afraid to try on the 12's for a while becuase I get so disappointed when I think I should be at a certian point and then I can't get them zipped or buttoned.  This means I only have 1 more size until I am at the same size as my older, athletic sister!  When I told her about the size 12 yesterday she was so excited for me.  I am hoping that with working to make better food choices I will be able to cruise through the 12s and into a 10 by the time I do the marathon in October.  So, next week I am going to clean out my closet and bring the 16's and most of the 14s to Clothes Mentor and see what they will take and then hang up all of my size 12s that have been sitting in a box.  Oh, and a side note, I am not sure what changed, but I am able to consume less food the last day or so than I was in the last couple of weeks which makes me a lot more comfortable, but is also causing quite a bit of food waste, oh well a small price to pay for getting healthy!

Thank you! Yup it is packed and ready to go! I have what I need for all of my meals this weekend as well as a couple of healthy snack options.  Now lets just hope that the cakes I made for my sister to bring to her in-laws are all gone and don't come up to my parent's house!

Thank you KellyAnn!  I can not wait to get to those 10s and 8s because then I will be the same size as my sister!
