The other day when I got up, I realized that the only shirts I had clean were short sleeved tees. It is COLD here in the mornings, and I really wanted a long sleeved shirt to wear under my sweater. So I did something I haven't done in years: I opened the right side of my bedroom closet where I'd hidden all of my clothes that are too small. Now don't get me wrong. A LONG time age I took the clothes I used to wear at 175-190 pounds and boxed them up or put them in the very bottom drawers of the "spare clothes" dresser where they have stayed since 2011. (Wow, 2011! Seven years since I weighed 199. How could it be that long??) But I did weigh in the 210's for much of 2013, so those clothes were left hanging, but moved to the other, "too small" side of my closet since then. But the other day, I reached in and pulled out a random long sleeved shirt, crossed my fingers, and tried it on. It fit! It wasn't even tight! I was pretty stoked. And every morning since then, I reach in and pull out another long sleeved shirt... and it fits! I have a whole new stash of clothes to wear now, and can get rid of some of the bigger shirts I've been wearing. This makes me super happy.
This Sunday when I saw 224 pounds on the scale, I had to stop and think: when is the last time I saw that number?? It's been awhile, even though I have been trying and have gotten close a couple of times. Going by my Weight By Month page, I have not seen a weight this low since November of 2013. This is the smallest I have been in *four years*! I am really thrilled. I am back down a total of 54 pounds from when I started this blog, so that's more than halfway back to my grand total of 103 pounds lost. I have 49 more to go to hit my low of 175. My 100 Pounds Gone pictures are so encouraging to me now. I think 2018 will be my year!
