This is one of my high school friends Caroline West so proud of how far she has come so had to share
Today at work we got in new Hi-Vis vest and I got to be the lucky participant to try one on. The smallest one was a small/ medium and even with adjustments it was still a little too big. A guy jokingly said I was tiny and to eat a sandwich. I thought, me? Tiny? That's a word that I wasn't expecting. It's interesting because after you lose a lot of weight sometimes you have a hard time picturing what size you really are. On more than one occasion I have ordered the wrong size clothes when shopping online because I think it's better to play it safe and size up. Wrong. Nowadays I need to size down. That's another thing, weight loss is not linear. My weight fluctuates between 153 -161. So I wear a size 8 or 10. I've learned to keep my butt off the scale, the number just stresses me out so I don't track it anymore. If my Doctor thinks I'm at an unhealthy weight, he can tell me. I judge myself now by how I feel and how my pants fit. If a size 10 gets too tight, I'll reevaluate some things. I've just been doing life lately so I haven't posted much about weight loss but today hearing the word tiny just got me thinking, the girl on the right would have liked that. She felt tight in her skin. The girl on the right probably couldn't have done as good of a job as the girl on the left at loading trucks early in the morning so, there's that. Sometimes I miss the forest for the trees. It's nice to stop and see that some of your goals have been met. Now to rock those Hi-vis vest. 👷♀️
