I can fold my hands together behind my back.13

Went with my mom to a not at all diabetic friendly restaurant (only one meal available: heavily battered catfish, with either hush puppies or bread, and either onion rings, baked potato, or fries, plus sugary pickled tomato relish) and managed not to have a complete meltdown. Had a piece of catfish, one hush puppy, one onion ring off my mom’s plate, and talked the kitchen into fixing me a “side salad” out of hamburger toppings prepped for tomorrow’s special. This really is the least diet friendly place, they had several dressings (they sometimes have salads, just not on Saturday nights) - all mayo based - so I used the lemon that came with my tea. I’m learning. I go to these places to spend time with my mom, it’s not the end of the world if I have to wait a few hours for a more suitable meal.
I went home later and had some food more suitable to my needs. Also, my blood glucose stayed within range. But the real victory is letting it go instead of getting all upset that my mom “is trying to sabotage” my health. Truth be told, maybe she should know that diabetics don’t need that kind of food, but she also enjoys seeing her friends there and enjoys having them meet her daughter. And that’s pretty groovy.31 -

Now everyone that reads this is going to try to fold their hands behind their back. I never even thought about something like that. Full disclosure, I can't do it.11 -

Just 9 pounds down but I’m starting to feel like myself again, and I don’t have so much trouble finding something to wear. This is me on my way back down after putting on 40 pounds in two years.14

We had a volunteer appreciation picnic last week at my workplace (I'm staff, not a volunteer. Some of the volunteers I see every week, but others I only see occasionally.). A couple of people made comments like "Oh Hi, I didn't recognize you!" and I immediately assumed it was because I was wearing a sun hat. In retrospect, they were probably trying to politely comment on my weight loss. I'm kinda glad I was "dumb" about their comments, because it's not something I really want to talk about. But it's nice that the hard work shows. I just don't notice it myself on a day to day basis.14

During a much overdue cleaning of my closet I found a shirt buried I hadn't worn in probably 2+ years. It used to be one of my favorite casual summer shirts (light grey short sleeve button-down) so I was curious how it would fit: I could barely get it on over my arms & shoulders or button it across my chest, so much so that my wife had to help me take it off. Could easily button at the waist. Guess my lifting efforts haven't been for nothing.15

Well half my cloths don't fit well anymore so I went and bought a few new outfits, and I'm down to medium and small sizes. I've always been a size LG, XL, or even XXL some pics for ref .

I just noticed that my shirt is getting loose on me. This is the 3XL shirt I bought about four months ago that was too tight at the time, a goal marker of sorts. Time to buy a 2XL one I guess?24

I had a few this weekend
1. I used to be pretty much addicted to Dots - the candy. If I bought a box, i'd eat the whole thing and feel like I couldn't stop. One time, I even made it through 2 boxes in one night. So I have cut them out completely since February (except one box my mom gave me on Easter). Friday night I decided to really test my progress, and bought a box knowing full well I might eat all of them. But instead I ate about 2 servings, and put the box away. Super proud of myself for that one.
2. My boyfriend has said a couple times along the way he can tell i'm losing weight, but this weekend, twice - in two different outfits, he was almost shocked. He even asked when I got so skinny I am definitely no where near skinny, but we all know it's nice when people finally start really noticing. It's been 18 weeks and -25 lbs of no one being able to tell, so it was nice to know it's finally starting to show.
3. I wore my swim suit in front of my boyfriend's entire family, and felt good about it.25 -

Nice one! Like a pro!2 -
I have MANY of these today. Having been told but multiple coworkers today alone (not to mention in the last couple weeks) that I look great, being called skinny multiple times, so on and so forth with peoples' compliments! Don't know when the last time someone besides my husband called me skinny was.
I fit into a skirt now that I have never fit in since I bought it three years ago and it's actually loose on me now, which makes me smaller now than I was on my 23rd birthday, which is what I initially bought it for!15 -
My oldest son just came in and I said "Hi" and he said "Hey Slim" ! This means so much to me. I have a lot of children and none of them EVER saw me slim--they only saw me obese & overweight all of their lives. YAY, I like LOVE being slim and called slim too. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!21

Having to tighten my bra straps for the first time!! Also, being able to slide into the golf cart comfortably at work rather than the side bar on the seat poking me in the bum because I can't quite fit getting in.11

1) I doubled the weights on one of the machines I use at the gym . . . . in error. I'd been using another machine and just set the the next one at the same weight without realising. Made me sweat like crazy and think that I had gotten weaker. It was only as I was going home that I realised what I'd done.
But there's no going back from that adjustment, I shall just have to keep sweating it out until I can cope with it!
2) Have been to the gym on eight of the last nine mornings (a record for me!)
3) Completed my 80th parkrun on Saturday.
