Last weekend was a great proof of my progress. We were at a conference in Austin and I had only packed one pair of jeans for casual dress. What’s the big deal, you ask? Well, the big deal is that I have gone down two sizes. I had to keep pulling my pants up all night, awesome!
If someone would have asked me what size I wore before I started this journey, I would have said a size 14. My Truth is I was really a 16 forcing myself into a 14. I know about week six Heather asked me if my cloths were fitting looser since I had lost 3% of my body fat. I thought about it and it was weird that my cloths were not looser. Well this is why; for the last year I had refused to buy anything new until I lost weight, which I never did and just keep stuffing myself into a 14, because I could not bare to wear a size 16. Don’t act like you haven’t done this yourself, or don’t know someone who is squeezing into a size10, but is really a 12.
What I am finding is that if I want life long change, I need to be honest with myself. I am today going to be honest, I am a size 12. More importantly I am feeling healthier and happier every day. I have heard people say that when they took control of their eating habits and exercise patterns, they felt more confident. Let me tell you I am truely surprised how empowered I feel about who I am and what I want.

I'm not sure I would have recognized you. I'm glad that you have gained control and are headed back to what I remember. You were always confident, keep it up!
