A minor milestone

[kitanzi]

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. 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.

Congratulations!!! I'm not getting anywhere in terms of weight loss - I've mostly given up at the moment. It takes a lot of work to stick to it. Go you!!!

I tried to lose, for many years, and always wound up gaining it all back plus some more. If I gave up in disgust and stopped trying to lose I STILL gained more. I've been on the Atkins plan, and pretty consistent about it, since a week before thanksgiving. I don't claim it suits everyone, but this is the first time I have EVER gone to a smaller size rather than a larger one! *shrug*

I sound like an ad, and that's awful, I apologize. I really am psyched about it, though.

b) If you were an ad, you probably wouldn't have said "I don't claim it suits everyone".

1) Out of curiosity, were any of your earlier diets shared by a SO? Maybe having
A'd Doc also on Atkins is helping. Or maybe just A'd Doc being A'd Doc helps.

PS - I can be inconsistent too! Phbbbbt! ;)
