Facing reality--ugh
| Wed, 04-21-2004 - 2:59pm |
After reading the posts about clothing sizes, etc, I decided it was time for me to face reality. I've been watching what I've been eating for six months, kinda sorta being good, though not all the time. That was about the time I actually started stepping on the scale and recording my weights. I would not, could not measure myself, though. I've started low carbing and I'm hoping it's something I can stick with, especially seeing the drop in the scale. So, I figured it was time to whip out the tape measure.
For me, this is the equivalent of standing up at an AA meeting and saying "Hi, I'm so-and-so, and I'm an alcoholic".
Stats: 241/222/130
Bust 48"
Waist 38"
Hips 49"
I refuse to be afraid of the tape measure any longer. It is a guide to measure my progress, or regression, and nothing more.
So there!
**Edited to add clothing size of 20; might as well be thorough with the info.**

There is a huge difference in my measurements now than there was years ago, which was contributed to by three kiddos, overeating and bad habits, along with a couple of medical conditions. But I'm tired of not completely accepting the fact that I am overweight, and decided to face it square on today. And I'm doing something about it.
