Hardly Changed

I went back to Schaumburg last weekend to see some friends do their graduation portfolio show. While I was in town I caught up with peopleI hadn't seen in since in a very long time. When I was back in IL the smallest I managed to get to was 205 (and I think that was just for a day). Ironically that was the weight I was when I visited. A few people who I wouldn't expect to recognize me did, and two said that I looked exactly the same as I did the last time they saw me.

I was pleased.


You see the smallest I have /ever/ been was 205, the fact that I've already hit it and I continue to lose weight (weighed at 202 after my shower today) is really encouraging.

P.S. Mom is 4 lbs shy of losing 40. I am a little jealous.

Holiday Parties

So last night was the company Holiday Party and I had a good enough time.

It was at Waldo, a pizza joint I'd never heard of in an area I'd never been to. I had asked mom what would be appropriate to wear, this was this first time I'd ever been to a company Holiday party before and I wanted to make a decent impression. They said nothing too dressy since it was just a pizza joint. So when I was going through my closet yesterday I stumbled upon these black pants I got after I graduated and haven't been able to wear since then. I decided to try the suckers on, just to see how much farther I had to go before I could start wearing clothes from that time.

Imagine my surprise when they comfortably fit.
The last few weeks I've been wearing size 24, the pants in question are a size 20 w.

Now if that isn't exciting then I don't know what is.
