Well, it's been just over one month into my weight loss journey. I was so fat a month ago, I tried squeezing into my favorite pair of jeans, and busted the zipper right out of them!! (Thank goodness for my local consignment shop!! They were able to save my $90 jeans with a new $10 zipper!)
I am happy to announce that I can now fit into those jeans I couldn't wear a month ago, and they are loose enough that they don't hurt me when I sit for 8 hours :) It's the small victories in life!
I can also say that I have noticed that some of my other clothes are fitting better, too! My back arm flub looks slightly smaller, and my shirts and hoodie sleeves fit nicer. I can even wear some of the hoodies I couldn't wear a month ago!
The girls are shrinking, too! A month ago, I was wearing a DDD size bra, which is now gap-ing and very loose-fitting overall. I would guess that I am now back to a DD size, which is WONDERFUL! I am hoping my back pain will be reduced, with the smaller ta-tas! The downside to shrinking boobies?? A sad boyfriend :(

| Not my boobies -_- |
I can only hope Brad still loves me when I am less-curvy all around <3
And my ass! My ass has gotten smaller already! I already need to buy smaller underwear because they are too big and bunching up already. Why is it that women loose weight in the places we don't necessarily want to lose weight in FIRST?? It's like we are being punished for losing the weight. Sure Nicole, you can lose 100 pounds, but I'm going to make you look unproportionate first - Muhahaha! Thanks body - I love you, too.
It is super exciting to notice the changes in your body though! I have lost in my chest, butt, thighs, and arms, while Brad has lost more in his face and stomach. I can't wait to look back at our beginning photos in the upcoming months!!!

I did such a great job with the Weight Watchers plan last week!! I tracked every bite of food that went into my mouth, and didn't go over my daily amount of points, or use ANY weekly points! I ended up losing 3.2 pounds!
This week has been off to a slow start, for whatever reason. Brad hasn't been working a normal 40 hour week, thanks to low demand at work, and I think I have been stressing about money. When I get stressed, I want to eat. I am not hungry, but I use food to comfort my feelings. I have also been worried about my good friend Delana, who is recovering from her second total knee replacement surgery in less than 2 months time. Those stresses, combined with the stress from taking 18 credit hours of college courses this semester, plus working 40 hours a week has really thrown me for a loop this week. This is the roughest week I've has since starting WW a month ago. I have been lacking motivation to hit up the gym, but I finally have some motivation today!
I was sooooooo freaking HUNGRY today! I kept snacking, and never really felt that feeling of fullness, or even satisfied for that matter. I ate pretzel chips, a Smart Ones Quesadilla, and a whole bag of popcorn and was STILL hungry!! I am hungry now, but am holding out until I get to the gym to eat my Fiber One bar to give me energy for my workout. I'm going to lift weights, and hopefully get a good cardio workout in.
I feel like I might have gained a little bit of weight back so far this week, so I need to work extra hard today and tomorrow for my weigh-in on Saturday morning! Here's hoping for a good finish to the week!!
I came across your blog as you are a follower of my blog. I will check in our your journey and see how you are doing. But I just wanted to add, you seem like you have everything it will take to be successful. Just make sure you are doing it for you. Don't ever give in to stupid people who judge us by non-important factors - race, gender, sexual orientation, weight, whatever.
