It's been a while since I posted! Halloween was good to me, as it seems like a blur so long ago. I did have a few NSV's that I was really excited about but never got a chance to brag on. I dressed up in a costume this Halloween for the first time in about 4 years :) I was really skeptical about what I wanted to be and where I would get my costume. We went to several places but I just couldn't see spending all that money for a costume for one party, boy the cute costumes have really gotten expensive! The costume I picked out online was the gangster girl, from the picture it seemed to cover all the right places. Much to my surprise, they had it at Hot Topic for 50% off when I went there the Tuesday before Halloween. I was apprehensive trying it on, as I haven't bought a costume in years and didn't want to be disappointed when it didn't fit. BUT IT DID! Still in disbelief I put a hold on that costume and went next door to Torrid to try some of theirs. There was no way I was even going to step foot in public wearing their smallest size....... I was drooping everywhere. So back to Hot Topic I went and got my Gangster girl. VICTORY......... (I would post some pictures but it has white pinstripes in the bodice that exploded when the flash on the camera went off! I didn't work this hard to post pictures like that!) Off to the party Friday night.
Unfortunately Halloween morning I got the news of the passing of someone very special to me. It made Halloween seem meaningless but we decided to pass out candy anyway for a short time. My NSV here was that I didn't eat a whole bunch of candy -- only a few Almond Joy's I couldn't resist. Though I questioned alot of things about life during this last week I didn't turn to food for comfort. I know I had every reason to do this but I was able to withhold the emotional eating. Now that does not mean I didn't eat some food that I should have stayed away from, mashed potatoes are still the ultimate comfort food, it just means I didn't over indulge.
My goal this week is to get that scale moving. I missed a few workout sessions last week but I am back on track making them up. I have my first appointment since the surgery with the endo tomorrow and though I really wanted to be down somemore, I hope she is happy with the 30 that are gone. I am not happy being in "plateau hell" as Gen like to call it so I will work twice as hard to get out of it!!!!

Jen, that is awesome about the costume! I felt the same way when I was able to fit into a normal (not plus-size) costume this year.
ReplyDeleteAnd not going wild with the emotional eating is a huge victory. So sorry about your friend. Not turning to food was really awesome of you. It is hard!
Now smash that plateau!
