My morning WOW moment!

As I posted earlier, I've been in a stall for a few days (so have stayed off the scale for the last couple of days). I changed up my protein types yesterday as I can now do some pureed foods, so I had a poached egg with lofat cheese (yum!) and did a bit more soup and less protein shake.

Anyway, yesterday i had put on one of my regular pairs of jeans... the ones that fit pretty snugly before my surgery. They were so baggy they were annoying and almost falling off me. Great! So this morning I found in my drawer a pair of "fancy" jeans that I had worn twice a few years ago after dropping a bunch of weight on weigh****chers. They're size 16... I thought it would be worth it to see how much farther I had to go to be able to zip them... AND THEY FIT... and fit well enough that not only could I zip them, I could sit down in them COMFORTABLY!!!! So I'm wearing them today!

What a nice surprise! I'll try to post a picture later if I can get one! (and if I can figure out how to post one... haha!)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now see, that scale isn't the only way to measure success - especially when it gets stubborn and won't move for a while. Enjoy the skinny jeans!!

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!
