Slow and steady, that's been me since the first of the year! Lost 4 pounds last month; only half of my goal for May, but considering I went to Vegas a couple of weeks ago, not to bad. Vegas and dieting are contradictory, too many fabulous restaurants and Piña Colada slushy machines.
So, new this month was the single most embarrassing moment of my life. I had been shopping at Target, checked out, and was leaving the store when the security buzzer went off. Since I bought things like cat litter and razor blades I was a bit surprised but waited at the door for the security guy to come over. Well, we're standing there chatting and I felt something brush against my leg. I looked down and my skirt had fallen off and was laying on the ground around my feet. I quickly pulled it back up, the security guy said everything was fine and I left. Once home, that skirt and everything else in my closet size 2X went into the give-away bag. The "making clothes work for awhile" plan isn't working for me anymore. I have a couple size 1X that I plan on taking in but for the most part my old wardrobe is gone.
Shopping is strange now that I fit in "normal" sizes. I can go in stores that don't carry plus sizes. There are so many more choices! And cute stuff that fits! I went to the mall with a friend last weekend and we kept picking out the same things. We used to have to shop in different sections! Anyway, going forward I'm not buying anything bigger than a size 12/LG. Though I am losing at a slower pace, I definitely don't want to risk a repeat embarrassing moment.
This month I need to focus on cutting out the hidden carbs in my diet and on upping my water intake. Plugging along, steadily losing, I will win this race!
