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.

Hmmm. I'm still alive! OK...

Glad to hear you got back on the diet after Quinze. I was wondering how it was
going, but a flurry of pre Con Comm meeting activity allowed me to procrastinate on
our e-mail, so the question didn't get asked.

I'm not too sure what the difference is between a size 18 and a 14, but Bravo!

"there's a certain satisfaction in zipping up those smaller jeans."
And going the other direction, too, I should imagine. [EG]

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.
