New pants….why is this so scary??

Ok, I think it is time for me to invest in some new pants.  I lost 18 pounds before joining this site and it is starting to show.  I know that doesn’t sound like a lot but it has made my clothes really baggy.  It has gotten so bad that at work people are staring to ask me when I am going to buy new pants becase the ones I wear are starting to hang off me so bad.  I have to keep pulling them up all the time….and lets face it is is not flattering to go around and yanking on your pants all the time.  My shirts are also starting to get big.  I look like a bum when I look in the mirror because my clothes are starting to just hang off me.

I know what you are saying…why is this girl complaining baout having to buy smaller clothes. I am not sure myself.  For some reason I just keep putting it off.  At forst I told myself that I wanted to wait until I had just a little more money to spend on them.  Now that I have the money I am making excuses about not having time.  What is the problem??  Am I scared of something?  I have never been afraid of going to the store to get clothes before.  True it was not the funnest thing in the world when you see all these cute clothes that you can’t fit in becuse they are made for “smaller” people.  Now that I am getting closer to the size that I want to be why am I not looking forward to getting that smaller size?  I know that for now I can only go down one or maybe even two sizes.  Soon though I will be at the “perfect” size for me.  Will I then look forward to going shopping?  Or maybe I am afraid that even though I think I can go down a few sizes I will get to the store and find that those sizes still don’t fit and I am stuck inthe size I was before.  I don;t know if I could go thru that after all of the work I have put into this.  I have worked hard all summer and I don;t want to be let down.

Ready for a change.

Well I have been reading all of your blogs for a couple weeks now and trying to decide if I want to join buddy slim.  Well today I finally took the plunge and decided to join all of you.  I have tried to lose the weight by myself but it is not working that well.  I have lost 18 lbs!  But that has taken me all summer.  Don’t get me wrong I am very happy with the weight that I have lost but I feel like I could have done better. So that is why I am here.  I hope to gain some support and guidence to help me lose the rest of the weight.  I hope to reach my goal of 165 by next June.  I know I can do it!!
