Post New Year's Goals Post/P365 - Week 1 (sort of)

Progress!  In keeping with my previous New Year's Goals post, I have cleaned out my closet of clothes that just don't fit/I haven't worn in forever and I've also cleaned every room of this apartment minus the master bathroom (which will hopefully happen this weekend).

I also took four pairs of pants (I have more but I'm going to have to do this piecemeal) down to the tailor to be taken in.  That was an experience.  I put them on and literally had to hold them up so they wouldn't just drop down to my ankles while I was playing mannequin on the tailor's stand.  There were pins everywhere!  On my hips, down the legs, in the posterior...which made it really fun to try to take each pair off when the time came :).  Hopefully, I can get one or two pairs down each payday and get them taken care of.  All the pants are Lane Bryant and they are of very good quality.  Since there is a decent delta between getting them altered versus buying new ones, I'd much rather get them altered and continue to be able to use them!

I've also been trying to keep a small visual "diary" re: the weight loss thing.  Since I am close to reaching my goal, I'm now going to bore you all with pictures.  Actually, they are behind the cut so you can choose to be bored or not :).



Start (240 pounds):


 
 
About midway (214 pounds):





Almost there (186 pounds):




So, there you have it.  Maybe this will count as part of my P365 quota since the last pictures were taken this week?

  2. Wow you look great! I'm so PROUD of you - I always eat my stress so I don't think I could have done that in your situation. Of course you had pretty major medical reasons...

    1. I've had to work really hard on not eating when I am stressed or bored. Being in class two nights a week is a snack attack waiting to happen (especially since we're on the same floor as the vending machines...*looks longingly at Sun Chips*). I have chewed a LOT of gum :).
