Grinning Ear to Ear

Can't stop grinning today.  Trying to not, but I can't stop!  Weighed in this morning, after Thanksgiving week and Anniversary week and everything else, including two portions of rib steak last night and several yummy slices of pie, and I was down another 1.4 lb.  That by itself is one thing, but it was the poundage that put me over the 20 lb lost since I joined Weight Watchers last summer.  Officially 21 lb. down!   (Add that to the 20 lb I had lost before I joined WW, and I'm now down about 40 lb from my largest a few years ago.)

Not bragging mind you.  I  am embarrassed that I ever let myself get as large as I did, and that I have so much I need to lose in the first place.  But I have to admit I love the feel of pulling on pants that used to be too tight and finding them now too loose! 

Hmmmm, this is definitely a better feeling than feeling over stuffed and bloated and out of control. 

Enough of that.  Now it's time to get busy and work on the next five pounds (with 50 still to go to get to goal weight)!  That will include my 10% body weight loss since joining.

And I am still grinning!

Thank you, Ann and Julie, for your encouragement. I look in the mirror and I still see a whole lot of fat, but am grateful the clothes and the measuring tape and the scales at least say it's smaller fat now.
