11 More Pounds.
Comments(6) Only 11 more pounds until I meet what I hope to be my goal of 130. If I don’t feel good enough there.. then I suppose I’ll lose some more, but at this stage every pound makes a difference. That will also mean 75 pounds lost since July. It’s taking more time for the weight to come off, but I’ve been even more sedentary than normal and I hope to start walking more.
Since exercise was never a mean for my weight loss, I’m very out of shape. You’d think weighing less would make it easier to do things, and in some cases it is, walking up stairs, up hills, lifting things but I still get very winded and tire easily. I honestly hate exercisting, but while I’m waiting for a position in a hospital as a phlebotomist, I hope to get a job maybe in a super market stocking shelves or the like, just to get some exercise in along with some cash. A good trade off I think.
I have virtually no clothes to wear, just two pairs of pants and one or two t-shirts that fit me anymore. I’m afriad I’ll be disapponted at what size I’ll be if I go clothes shopping, I know my size 8 jeans are getting loose, but I can’t tell if it’s because I’m smaller or because they’ve stretched out. Being a size 4 would be amazing sometime in the future, but I’m hoping to fit into some 6’s. I have to get rid of this lingering chub, but I know I will eventually. I’m glad I’m not controlled by my scale, I only look when I know I’ve lost or at least maintained, and I don’t feel that I’m granted leeway to eat more if I do see it go down, it makes me want to keep it up when I see the dial down a few notches.
It doesn’t feel like I could have some so far, and the end of one journey and the beginning of another has arrived so fast. Once I feel comfortable with myself, I want to stay that way for life. I can’t imagine going back, but I do know if I do gain a pound here or there, I’ll be able to take it off without any problem.
Just 11 more pounds, and we’ll see from there.
