Monday Weigh-In

Well, the numbers are in folks:

Last week's weight — 137 pounds
This week's weight — 135 pounds

Another 2 pounds gone!

OK, so NOW I weigh 135 pounds. It's a very big relief, to finally weigh what I considered an acceptable weight for myself for so long. It will be an even bigger relief to weigh less than that, to finally drop down into what I consider an 'ideal' weight, which is anywhere from 125 to 120 pounds. I briefly thought about trying to get down to 115 pounds, but then I realized how silly that would be. I weighed 117 pounds when I was a teenager. I'm not a teenager anymore. I'm not even close, sadly. So think I shall leave all the 'teens,' age and weight, behind me forever.

The sad side effect to losing all this weight is the fact that my favorite pair of pants no longer fits. They were relatively new too. I got them in August when I went home to visit my parents. My mom took me shopping and we found the cutest pair of green khakis. I fell in love with them. However, at that point I was still around 150 pounds and had to buy them in a size 10. I'd never been in a size 10 before and this was what really got the ball rolling for this whole weight loss journey. In any event, I'm back down to a size 7/8 pant and sporting the 'saggy butt' look with my green khakis. I'm very sad about this, probably more sad than I should be about a pair of pants, but I don't find good pants that I really like very often. And by very often I mean EVER.

Sigh. I really loved those pants. But the pounds? Nope, glad those are gone.
