lunabee341. I am just so pleased with myself my friends. I clocked in at 32 lbs down this morning! When I went shopping yesterday, I fit perfectly in size 14s. I didn't buy any because I'm still losing, but I'm down four sizes since August. I'm in size L for tops and some dresses. I am so thrilled. My friend gave me some beautiful clothes that she's outgrown but fit me perfectly, Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren. I am so impatient to reach my goal and start building my wardrobe!!!!
2. I have discovered Not Your Daughter's Jeans. They cost a little more than a hundred dollars a pair which seemed ludicrous to me, and then I tried them on. When I reach my goal, I am buying these jeans. They look like a million dollars and feel so damn good. Wow. Highly recommended.
3. I took Emma to get a proper bra fitting yesterday. She's in a 32 D, bless her heart. I had hoped she would get to spend less money on bras than I have to, but alas. At least Wacoal has so many beautiful styles.
4. If you've not yet tried Noosa Yoghurt, you totally should. It's so good, y'all. I just had some blackberry serrano and it was divine (genuinely spicy with great blackberry flavor).
5. Saw the doc about possible interstitial cystitis and my knees. Going next week for an X-Ray and should hear next week from a urologist about a referral. Of course, now I feel pretty good LOL. I don't know if that's because I eliminated all the triggers and my bladder has healed or what. I wonder if part of the issue has been psychological, that I was shunting my anxiety about my dad's cancer, and Josh's employment situation and everything else onto this issue and obsessing about it too much. IDK I want to talk to the doc about other possibilities beside IC and about how to/if I can add some of the foods back that I cut out. Regardless, I'm going to continue to eliminate carbonation and caffeine. I find that those ended up being less onerous to stop than I had feared (and were costing me the most); I do want to add back citrus, tomato and chocolate if I can.

Date: 2016-11-14 08:32 pm (UTC)I am so happy. I mean, it's more than just losing the weight. It's going to bed earlier and being more financially responsible and a host of other things wrapped together that are making me feel like I've finally got my shit together and am taking good care of myself.

I realized when I was reading it back over that my final point about what I've been eating a lot of lately makes it sound like that's all I'm eating. That list is of stuff I've been eating for snacks and for my light lunch. For dinner, I'm eating all the stuff I ate before, whatever I would normally make for dinner for the family (pot roast or stir fry or whatever)--just a smaller portion.
I am happy to talk about this with you privately if you want through PM or at lunabee34 at gmail.
I have struggled with this for so long and am frankly astonished that I've found something that works for me because I've been the last almost twenty years in despair. And I'm even having trouble analyzing what's allowed my attempts to work this time when I've failed so many times before. I can tease out some thread of it but maybe not the whole thing. IDK
