The truth is in the clothes not the scale

I am preparing my bags to go out of town for a wedding. I was not worried about what I was going to wear because I have a bunch of dresses that I bought a couple of years ago for another wedding, plus the dresses I have accumulated throughout the years.

I have been feeling good about myself since I have lost 8 pounds since I started MFP, so I was not worried, I felt I could wear anything... Well, I have tried almost everything and nothing fits quite well... not even the dresses I had bought in the past to cover what I thought was fat... I am feeling sad...

Not defeated, just sad...

I know I have a long way to go for me to feel back in my skin, and I am not giving up. Not this early and not so soon. It's just a reality check... still a long way to go...

The good news is that I feel motivated to keep going, I'm not feeling like giving up, not now not ever. I know I don't have as much weight to lose as some of you, but I really miss my old self, healthy and energetic, I'll get there in time.

This is my life, this is my body and I am taking it back...

I am looking forward to fitting into my dresses some time soon....
