Jeans Perspective

[silverthorne]

So, like, I've been losing weight, right?



And this is what my weight loss looks like.



The grey ones are the spiffy size 18's I bought a month after I'd moved into my apartment and lost the first twenty pounds. The blue jeans are the size fourteens I bought today and have been wearing all day. I was wearing size 22 jeans when I started out, so if you can imagine a third border of jeans under the grey ones with at least that much more space...

Yeah. I've come a long way. :)

I think I'll keep hold of the grey jeans until I hit my goal at the very least. *g*

WOW! Sooooper impressive!

I've got to get off my fat ass and get moving. I look like a cow in all but like one of the photos John took of me over the weekend, and with Sophie about to turn 3, I'm still 10 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. :(

It is. I still have a 'perspective' problem sometimes, being able to see the weight I've actually lost, you know? But between the latest jeans size downgrade (the only time in life a 'downgrade' is a good thing! *g*) and then setting the pants up like this...it really helps to show what's really been going on. ^^

Ow. I've heard it's actually lots harder to lose five-ten pounds than it is to lose a lot, because your body starts getting really chintzy on letting go like it should. You might have to start tramplinign when you watch TV or something.
