A minor milestone

Diets are still boring to everyone who isn't on one - but I'll take my minor triumphs where I can get them, I guess!


I really don't feel like I'm getting anywhere very fast, especially with having a very hard time getting strictly back on diet after the trip to England, but I did get a bit of a boost the other day. [livejournal.com profile] ladyat has lost quite a bit of weight herself, and passed on an assortment of jeans and pants that she had undergrown. I found this weekend that I can fit into all of them quite comfortably except for the very smallest, which will fit but pinches. Considering that's a size 14, and I started this whole diet when I literally burst a seam on a size 18, I am feeling rather pleased at the moment.

Guess I am a bit shallow on this, but my creeping weight - and volume! - is something I've been working on for months and concerned about for years. There are a lot of benefits in how healthy I feel as well, but I have to admit there's a certain satisfaction in zipping up those smaller jeans.

The only person I actually grudge the advantage to in the diet competition is Manny. He has no business weighing perilously close to less than me. He just doesn't. Yes, I know that height for height women are supposed to weigh more than men, and Manny and I are almost exactly the same height. But it just feels all wrong.

*hug* Not much I can say to that... when things feel strongly wrong, it's tough to trump them with mere logic.
