Dh and I went thrift store shopping for new clothes. No need to spend a lot because we are still in transition, at least I am. He needs permanent new clothes cause he's just maintaining now. I need some that can see me through the last 20 pounds. I got some crazy good deals. I found 3 sweaters sz large; surreal since I used to be in a 3X. I also found a set of black moccasin slip on shoes and a pair of black suede ankle boots; both of which looked new. My motivator was a risk I took to buy a pair of sz 12 jeans, no stretch for $2. I figured for $2 if I couldn't wear them yet, I would eventually. I came home and tried them on. THEY FIT! Not as comfortable as I would like, but I got them on without any fuss. Guys, I have never worn a sz 12. Ever. Maybe 12 months when I was little. lol. The lowest I ever got was in high school and that was a 14. Many years have passed since then. We won't go into how many. So motivator #1 Do I want to get into these jeans comfortably? You bet your bippy!
Motivator 2. While thrift store shopping, Dh wanted a new zip up hoodie in a men's small. We found a very nice one for a couple of bucks. He had a pullover hoodie in sz medium that had a graphic on it that said "Property of" and a friend had written my name in permanent marker below it. Dh said he guessed we could retire that pullover hoodie. So today as I was hanging up the "new" hoodie and taking out the one to retire I thought hmmmm. I wonder if.....So I tried it on. IT FITS! WOOHOO! I never thought I would see the day when I would be able to borrow my Dh clothes! I know some women can, but I never could nor thought I would ever be able to. Big motivator for today.
I could care less what the scale said. I care more about my two new motivators.
That is so awesome! Good for you! I am sure you are an inspiration to many! Keep up the good work! 😁👍
