Weekly Weigh-in 7/18-7/25
Posting super early this time because Daisy woke me up thanks to the thunderstorm so I came to work early so here I am.
Last week saw no movement and this week saw just a pound. I know losing will be slower the further out I get but I only have 4 pounds to my main goal so I really, really want it right now!
Oh - one great thing of the week: I went shopping and bought a ridiculously cute dress that makes me look insanely small. And I bought a pair of pants in single digits. SINGLE DIGITS, WHAT??? I was a 26/28 before so that is insane to me!! I never had fantasies of what size I would be when I had surgery, I was really only thinking about being healthier but to buy a size 8 was kind of crazy. I have no memory of ever buying anything smaller than a 16, ever.

I haven't lost anything this past week. Really for the last month. If I am honest, I am not even trying anymore. I am at a point that I am happy with my size. Other than wanting and needing to have plastics in the future I love where I am now.
I am officially 20 pounds from the goal I pulled out of the air when I first started this journey. I guess I am just trying to decide if I want to hang out here for a while, or push just to meet my arbitrary goal.

I'm kinda not far where you're at & picked a weight similar to yours & I decided to "hang out" in the 170's. I also like where I'm at and kinda picked a number out the air. I decided to try maintenance for awhile b4 deciding to go lower.

I think my hang up is the whole bmi chart. I am so close to being "normal". Do I want to stop now where I am content? Or will I feel like I failed myself in the future for not pushing to no longer be overweight? It is something I have to think on.
