I weighed in at 198 last Sunday. I am moving at the speed of snail. As of late I lose one pound every two weeks. And I have to exercise every single day to pull that off. I am finding it a tad frustrating.

In other news, my pants do not fit. I told myself that I would not be buying new clothes. I have squirreled away clothes from the past 20 years. The lowest I have ever been in my adult life was size 12. My body seems different this time around.

I have managed to drag out (3) size 12 jeans. Apparently, back in the day- I thought I was short. In reality I fall right between short and average. I usually have to buy average and then hem them. So, I have been walking around in jeans that are too short for me. The only other alternitave is to try and make due with my size 16s.

I tried that today. They were bagging off of me so much it was annoying. It is a very weird experience. To go from being thrilled that I can fit back into 16's to being able to pull them off without unbuttoning or unzipping them.

The Goodwill Store is right next to where i work. I stopped in this eveing. I tried on 3 size 10 jeans. They fit. Let me qualify that. They button and zip...and look like they have been painted on me. So, I wont be wearing them in public- but at 4 bucks each I decided I would squirrel them away in hopes that they will fit eventually.

I could only find 1 size 12 in the store. I bought it- but they are pretty rough looking.

I may try some creative sewing this weekend.
