Post Holiday Weigh-in

Another post holiday weigh in and it wasn’t too bad! Yay!   I did do a fair amount of pigging out this Christmas.  Not too bad, but enough to make me feel bloated and break out with bad zits.  Meh.   I have been afraid to weigh myself for 2 weeks.

Before weighing in after a pigout period, I like to get back to a feeling of being in control, and not feeling all gross and bloated.  This is a state of being which I call my “thinner place”.   I also like to try on a pair of size 8 slacks which I bought when I was at my thinnest.  If I can zip those up without too much muffin top, then I figure I’m good.

Those two conditions were met today, so I stepped on the scale, hoping against all hope that I was 145 or less.   I weighed in at 144.6.  Yay!!!!    I weighed 142 before the holidays, so 2 lbs is not bad.   I will have to work hard to lose them, but, I really can’t complain.  In my fat days, I would gain 10 lbs every year (for 10 years – I’ll let you do the math on that one – hahaha!)
