I’ve lost 20 pounds as of today!

1. I bought my first guilt-free size 10 pants yesterday in over a year. It’s a pair of cargo capris, which is the closest thing to shorts that I really like wearing. Guilt-free because I was not simultaneously having to convince myself that I wasn’t just buying a size 10 because I was scared of a size 12.
2. My face isn’t bloated looking anymore and my throat is starting to look like an actual throat again.
3. I am 2/3 of the way to my goal weight. Now that I know I can do it, there is a whole lot less fear and anxiety in the idea that I might not lose any more weight.
4. I need to get a ring sizer for my ring. I’m still not confident enough to get the actual band altered… but I’ll get there.

Go, me!

I suspect that being out of the really stressful situation that was the Petri Dish, I will detox and I’ll lose some of the weight I’ve gained since working there.
