A quick story about two tales. I had a woman that sees me about twice a week for the past year say something very nice. "Todd, you are looking great. Your clothes are hanging off you and look like they are about to fall off of you. I'm guessing you are between sizes. Keep up the great work and share your secret." The second lady is someone that I have never seen before today and she said this in front of 30 people. "Hey, when I was fat I used to buy really baggy clothes also. You know if you lose weight and workout you will not feel uncomfortable in tight clothing."
I looked at her and I could not help it... I laughed out-loud. I first thought of what an incredibly blunt and abrasive woman this was. Second, for the first time in 20 years a comment about my weight did not bother me. Perhaps it is all the self-development and personal-growth books I am reading, or perhaps it is just plain confidence from knowing I am on the right track. It certainly verified my last post about people thinking I am wearing baggy clothes to hide my fat.
Perhaps it is time for a Speedo! :-O No worries, not even I want to see this in a Speedo... yet! Shoot, I am still 40 pounds from seeing the Speedo without a mirror! :-O
When you get to a plateau, think of it as a landing on the stairway to your goal. And maintenance is a lifelong plateau, so a bit of "rehearsal" for maintenance isn't the worst thing in the world. ----Unknown Author
Todd,
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your blog! I think you have us women down pretty well (much as I hate to admit it)
Here's to baggy clothes and being in-between sizes.
