I saw 170 on the scale this morning, so given my plan this now means that I can wean myself of my diet and go into maintain mode, rather than loose mode, which means I can stop being a calorie counting diet freak and go to the occatioanl resturant with out completely freaking over what to get! Yay! at least until I do this again in a few months. Still got 40 lbs to loose.
I bought a size 10 dress today. However this has nothing to do with the weight I lost and everything to do with the fact that there is size deflation. I've heard about this before, but I never saw it personally or knew the extent. When I was 140 I wore a 14 and maybe the odd 12. Now I walk into Dress Barn (I was desperate) and take the 16 off the rack, thinking this should be my size. No. Ok, try the 12, since there isn't a 14, what? that's too big? the 10? no way. By all rights I should be a 16. That's just way too much change in the past 10 years. It's wrong. Why can't we use numbers that mean things?
This made me late for
