I Appear To Be Doin' It Right

[serinde]

Down another pound and a half, which makes it 7 lbs in 4 weeks. (I can say this for the Too Stressed To Eat diet: it certainly works.) The blouse I'm wearing is now sorta loose on me, which is a little unfortunate since I like it so much; but this is, after all, the point.

In another few pounds, I should be able to bring back the first round of clothes that I spent last weekend laboriously banishing to dark corners of my closet. (Which probably contributed to my success.)

No running today, as between the wound on my heel and extremely sore legs due to lack of pre-run stretching yesterday, it just seemed too stupid to attempt. Also, I worked through my lunch hour.

Congratulations! That's excellent progress! I am moving more slowly.

The conventional wisdom on clothing and weight loss is to get rid of the things that are too large so that you can't regain the weight without taking major notice of it. I don't know if you've done this. (In practice, this has mostly worked well for me, but a few months ago I was wishing I'd kept a business suit or 2 in the larger size since these are expensive to replace.) I donated a lot of work clothes to a women's charity and gave some favorite items of clothing to a slightly larger friend who was also losing weight.

I'm going to take my 'too huge now fer sure' jeans and make them into shorts/capris for the summer. I'm going to basically reconstruct them down on the side seams after I shorten them. Things like t-shirts can also be taken in at the sides, but why bother?
Now suits on the other hand might be worth altering.
