A Tremendous Affirmation Of Inches Lost


Sally

Recommended Posts

I have told you about my weight loss and how well it is going and about going down a full dress size but that is not all, the affirmations just keep on coming.

People that see me at work are beginning to notice a change in my face as well as my stomach.

I am getting compliments on my clothing - I am not dressing any different but now clothes are beginning to look better on me as they can hang a little looser and flow when I walk.

I even tried on a couple of 1XL tops Yesterday and bought them both - I could only get away with a 3XL if it was knit so that it could stretch just over 2 months ago.

But the biggest victory of all came this afternoon when I stopped by IHop to have that wonderful low cal breakfast and have my bacon and pancake fix for a week or so.

I had never been able to sit in the booths at IHop because you cannot slide them away from you - they are bolted ti the floor and wall - I always had to ask for a table.

The last time that I was there I had tried to slid into one of the booths as I was leaving and it was still touching me but not terribly uncomfortable so today I thought, "Why not give it a try?"

The hostess asked me how many and I indicated 1 and she asked me if I wanted a table or a booth - the booths give you a bit more privacy so I decided to ask for the booth - I slid into the booth and there was room to spare - I had a very delightful meal and left very happy with my progress so far.

It just takes dedication, there will be days and even weeks when it seems like you may not be losing a single pound but often you are still losing inches - never give up - never surrender (to Krispy Kreme especially)>

Love ya,

Sally

Sally, I know how hard it is to take control of eating, and keep that control. You're doing amazing, I believe in you being able to go really well with this, but don't be afraid to come talk to us if you need words of encouragement :)

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!
