Body Image

Our bodies are such strange things. When I get on the scale it does not reflect the work that I have been doing these last few weeks but my clothes are fitting me so differently.

When I look in the mirror I can see the difference. My belly is going down quite a bit and I am seeing my waist is beginning to get smaller.

I was walking up the stairs at the gym the other day and I felt my workout pants were very loose and I had to keep pulling them up.

At the start of winter I could barely get my winter coat buttoned up, now it fits me rather loosely.

I noticed there is more room between me and my steering wheel.

So even thought the numbers on the scales are not moving down quickly, my body is taking on a form of its own and I like it.

Anyone else seeing some body changes they want to share?

April, sometimes when the scale doesn’t move for a period of time it is because the body is trying to adjust to the weight loss, I would say give it another week or so to see if you are on a plateau. If you are, you might need to eat more calories or maybe even less calories or increase the exercise.

BTW how are you doing with that    water intake? 

Well on the positive side of a belt it can be a very good gauge for inches lost, the scale might not move but the notches on the belt might be.

Happy shopping, be sure to come here and share your shopping story with us, I know there will be one.

I so agree with your friend, I’m sure your hubby is a little intimidated by your loss and your new found self confidence. We have to remember that our men think and react differently then we women do. We seek their approval and want them to be verbal about it, saying “oh honey you are looking so thin and sexy"! But they are not put together that way.
