my weekend wow moment

I have been feeling frustrated by the scale not moving (creeping if anything).  I have not lost very much weight at all, but I finally realized- I am definately losing inches.  And I am reshaping my body so I am gaining confidence too!  Jen was so nice to give me a ton of clothes that she no longer fits in, and it gave me a push to start wearing clothes I haven't worn in years- namely shorts.   Well- I was out at the grocery store the other morning, no make-up, hair just tied back, wearing a jean skirt from Jen and a t shirt.  Out of the corner of my eye- I saw someone loking at me.  I wanted to find a hole and crawl in- I thought- god, this guy must think I look so fat and why am I out in public dressed like this.  I was wrong!!  I peeked up at him and he smiled at me- he was actually checking me out!!  I was so shocked!  I think it has been YEARS since I have been checked out.  I am happily married, but it was nice to feel like someone else actually found me attractive again.

Yeah....  I know this is bad, but I love to be flirted with and to be checked out!!!!!  It has been a long time!!!!Well, my DH has always loved the way I look, but it is different when you notice someone else doing it. Jen

That is awesome...must of made you feel really good!

** GIGGLE **  I love this story - how fun for you Alexia Pam

Thanks guys!  Now I feel better about my tool actually working ps Pam- LOVE the new Style!!!

I know how frustrating things can be when the scale does not move. Shift your focus to inches and clothes. Up until Sunday (down 4), I had not lost a pound for 5 weeks! Yet I had taken my measurements on Saturday and lost  1/2" in my waist and 1" on my hips in the past 3 weeks. Also, some jean shorts that were still too snug to wear now fit comfortable...I'm wearing a pair today.  Oddly I thought my clothes were getting looser all this time but I was too focused on not losing pounds that I never even checked the things that were too tight a few weeks ago.   Hang in there....it may take longer for you but it'll happen!   Stay positive and continue the great work!

YEAH Alexia!!!  Getting checked out....WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Now that is a non-scale victory if I ever heard of one!!!!

Thanks!  It was really the nod I needed to know this IS working.
