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.

YOU were procrastinating on email? You've been the soul of patience with MY procrastinating! (Thus earning your continued existence with this thread, but your Irish luck is running thin, dear! *hug*)
It's closer to the difference between a 20 and a 14, considering how I was stretching the seams. Poundwise, it appears to be roughly 30 lbs.
