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 :)

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).

      I will have arrived when I have a b*tch certificate of my own.  I think someone called me one once.

      Good morning everyone,   It’s Thursday well as least I took my Thursday Medications as sorted out in my weekly dispensary caddy. Today’s coffee is Folgers Breakfast Blend served HOT, black and strong. My wife and I are going to explore the Western and Southern coasts of Saginaw Bay and hang out in Bay City, MI. today.    @Willowonce @Abigail Genevievepointed out the word usage in your post. I read it and laughed, enjoying the snarky tone of the comment. Since it was spelled correctly I thought maybe you meant for it to read just as you typed it. Then the kinder gentler me thought it would be better if I changed it. I’m not saying I corrected it, I just changed the severity of the sentence.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Things are moving quickly now that I have my drivers license and social security card in my new name. It was really affirming when I got my first paycheck in my new name.

      Amazingly I have found many cis women are absolutely wrong in their assumptions about bra fittings. I knew an elderly lady that said, "I have been a C cup since school, I just buy a bigger band size as my breasts grow." This is completely WRONG as the band should always fit snug with they gore firmly against the chest.    One of CNA's came into Torrid and I helped her pick out a new bra. She didn't even understand band size was inches and cups/band combo were based off Victorian shirt sizes.  She said, "how do you know so much?"   We found her proper fitting band size, then found a cup she fit.    How can people that take the vast majority of bra users know so little about them? Seems most cis women just use "try it on" only.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?
