so I decided to go to the gym instead of weight watchers today. It turned out that it had to be one or the other so I hit the gym and will go to WW in Friday or Sat. I weighed myself on the scale at the gym which is usually higher than the WW scale and I did it after my workout which usually seems to be higher than before I work out. The scale said what I was afraid of… 260. I am going to work very hard and hopefully the WW number will be a pound or two less than that. I wanted to see as high a number as possible so that I will be as motivated as possible. It’s always hard for me to get going again after taking time off. But I’m eating very well today and have already worked out so this is going to be a + day!
On another note… i have like 2 pairs of jeans that I wear most every day. One of them is a bit too small and the other is wearing out (my big toe got caught in a hole this morning and made a minor problem a bit bigger). So I have decided that I’m not going to buy any new jeans that are the same size as the ones I am wearing. I will wear these until I can fit into the next smaller size (which I think is a 36). So either i am going to drop a size pretty quick or I am going to wear increasingly deteriorating jeans along with my uncomfortable ones… or I will lose weight and my other jeans will fit better and I can buy some new ones that are smaller. Just another step in making health more comfortable than habit.

Yeah, clothes are a huge issue (pun partially intended) when you’re losing weight. It’s always fun to keep an old pair around just to see how much you’ve lost.
keeping the old ones around are encouraging, but so is buying the new ones. I am wearing the smallest pants, shirt and belt I’ve worn in almost 20 years today. I had become so used to the feeling of the baggy ones, these new clothes feel almost binding. Its a GOOD thing!
Todd, I recommend going today if possible and buying a new pair of pants in the next size down. This has 2 benefits, 1) they will sit there taunting you everyday until you can wear them (pants do that you know?). and 2) you won’t have to go shopping for a new pair of pants when you do need them. The pants I am wearing right now were actually purchased in early December.
