And I'm bound to gain next week, too, because I'm having my free day today (Monday) instead of last Saturday and I won't have as much time to work it off by my weigh-in this Saturday . But I couldn't make myself do without it- a weekly pig-out day is an important component of how I'm getting there. I just need to be patient and realize that it may be a few weeks until I dip into those elusive 150s.
But you know? I honestly never thought I'd see them at all until recently. When I began this journey, in the early days of SpireSpire, I told myself that if I could get into the 170s and stay there, I'd be satisfied. It's funny how we have a number in our heads and then when we get there, we're like "eh, I could stand to lose some more". I'm very curious about where I'll be scale-wise when I finally look at myself and think "Okay, I don't need to lose another pound, let's just try to stay right here".
I'm getting pretty close, though... I realize that particularly when I compare myself to other women, which I know we're not supposed to do (but who doesn't?). I'll see a friend who I think of as thin and healthy and I'll think "I would be content if I looked like that", and then I see a picture of us next to each other and realize that I pretty much do. For example, although as I posted earlier I felt like a cute and skinny bridesmaid, I was still looking at myself as the heavy one in the bridal party, until I saw the pictures. They are beautiful and healthy women, and so am I.
