I went to the mall today and decided just for the heck of it to try on some clothes. There was a huge clearance sale going on and some really nice clothes were being massively discounted. I picked up a few pairs of jeans and went to try them on. The first pair I tried on, to my shock, was too big! I haven't worn that size in years because it was too small, so the last thing I was expecting was to have it hang off me!
I tried the next size down, and it was tight, but I could put them on and zip them up! I was so excited. Honestly, I can't remember ever wearing this size. I am sure I must have at some point when I was growing up but it's not something I recall and I don't own any clothes in this size. I'm not quite ready to wear them out yet, but I'm sure as long as I keep exercising that by the time I earn my next Nutribear that I'll be rocking my new jeans! I can't wait.
It's finally starting to click that I'm coming to the end of the rope. I have a relatively small amount of weight still to lose. I am going to get there! Maybe, despite it all, I wasn't really convinced of it until I did up the button on these jeans.
My weight loss is starting to slow down but I am okay with that. I am going to get there, so I'm not going to worry if it takes a few weeks long than I planned. I'll just keep taking it one week at a time.
I lost one pound this week and that's still a normal healthy weight loss. It's one pound that is gone forever. One pound at a time, I will reach my goal.

SusieQ - I know you hear this all the time but you are amazing!@!! I am still a newbie (8 weeks in) but I stumbled upon your website early on. If I get to my goal (still trying to have faith in myself) ... first I will have Nutri system to thank but equally I have you as well!! I am a gourmet cook and baker but I am so tunnel vision. See box. Take entree out. Open entree, Nuke. Steam broccoli. Put on plate with entree. I can't quite get creative!! But your recipes have satisfied my cooking need and bulk everything up to be so delicious - I just absolutely love them! I did the crepes this weekend. Thought I was in heaven. Did your Mushroom Risotto tonight - YUM. I have loved your Grown up Mac and Cheese, and today I had your Beef Strogonoff ...and I thought there is no way this can be this good - it is so satisfying that I don't feel deprived whatsoever. Early on I had the Cheese Tortellini Pepp. Bake. This weekend hope to try your Lasagna with the Ravioli. I have made the Eggplant Rotini -- unbelievably good. Your Gumbo, your cheese sauce for veggies ... I could just go on and on. Oh Lord - I sound like a stalker. LOL! Everytime I think I'm missing out on something ... I make one of your dishes and it reaffirms to me, I CAN DO THIS. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are so amazing to share this journey with us all.
