...and bought some size 18W jeans and skirts. I was wearing size 22s when I restarted on 12/27/06, so this is great! The jeans are still a bit snug, but I know just a few more pounds lost and they will be comfy. I can zip them up, but they are not quite something I'd wear in public yet. :lol:

New clothes are really motivational for me. I did try on some of the stuff in my closet that I bought 2-3 years ago, and I am much closer to being able to wear them. I can't wait!

Have you tried anything new on lately? It's fun to go and try them on, even if you don't buy them just yet.

I have a dream jacket hanging in my closet. When I bought it, it was a little snug. Now, well, a lot snug. It's a fall jacket and my goal is to wear it this coming fall. It'll be my NEW old jacket.

I have tried on ONE pair of jeans that were snug and they're already feeling great. That's about it so far. I hate to admit this, but I tend to wear the same thing over and over and it's oversized. I can tell there's a difference in my body, but I'm actually AFRAID to put on some of my tighter clothes because I'm afraid I'm wrong! That I realy haven't lost any inches and that it's all in my head. I'm sitting here typing this and thinking "ok, Bev, go try on your jeans." NOOOOOOO!!!! I can't I can't I can't! eeeeeeeep!

Actually, lately the clothes thing is my biggest motivator..the scale thing is so slow lately. I'm now wearing things that I needed a shoehorn to get on before or looked like a sausage (rolls are not very attractive) in. Moving out of the size 20 plus range is heady stuff - by the by, I have always enjoyed your messages - can really relate - I look for your cheerful smile!
