kitanzi | 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.

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.
