Recovering
Feeling celebratory, I actually wore my size 16 jeans yesterday… well… for the first half of the day anyway. I thought the slight discomfort of the tightness would be a constant reminder of my mission. I had to pick up a few things at the store before the party got started. I didn’t figure on how I was going to drive with my size 16s. I wasn’t exaggerating when I said that I walk like C-3P0 in them. I had to move my seat back and recline it a bit. Quite a bit. I drove to the store in a horizontal position. I was hoping that people would think that I was just trying to be cool, but my car doesn’t really evoke that response. I managed.
The day was going great, my BBQ was a success. I made awesome grilled Portobello mushroom sandwiches that satisfied even the non-veggies. I think it was all the beer drinking that led me to unbutton my pants. Once I had done that, I couldn’t keep the zipper up. Where the heck did I get the idea that you could some how magically push down the zipper handle (or whatever you call it) and it would lock it in place? Seriously did I make that up?
Despite all the beer that I did drink, I wasn’t quite prepared to do a strip tease, so I busted out the elastic pants. Freedom! And enough room to indulge in Mrs. Smith’s apple pie and ice cream. In the spirit of cheat day I tried to have a big chocolate cookie with that, but just couldn’t.
Oy vay, when I think about what I ate it makes me want to take a shower! It will go down as my cheat day for two weeks! Today I’m recovering from the food bender I went on yesterday. I would rejoice if this were just a measly hangover, Corona has less fat.

Thanks Jessica! That's so nice. Yeah, I think that all of us trying to lose weight (a lot or a little) have so many similar experiences and feelings. And when it comes to things like crappy cars, even more people(thin ones too) can relate :-).
I always used to think "did I just wash these?" and yell at my husband for washing my jeans too often, when of course he hadn't. That's too funny!
Congrats on your pending wedding! and I think you're right about our food here and we have too much selection (i have a love-hate relationship with that concept).
Good luck losing your weight!
THE FOOT SPREAD,
Does anyone know what I'm referring to?? How about when you were 60lbs lighter and you used to wear a size 8 or 8.5 shoe.....and now your squeezing your tootsies into a 9W or 9.5W!! I was trying on a couple of my old pairs from a couple years ago and darn......good ole foot spread has taken my black Guess sandals away :(
Thanks for that Adriane! Now that I've picked myself off the floor from rolling around in hysterics! That's exactly what happened to me! And I often can't find shoes that even come in "W" so I buy shoes that are twice as long as they need to be. I'm like a clown! I love the word "tootsies"! I can't stop cracking up at that one :-)

Hi Hopeful,
I have been lurking in your blog here for awhile now, and I just wanted to tell you that I think you have a great writing style. You are always making me laugh! I can relate to so much of what you are saying.
I have 16lbs to lose, which doesn't sound like much but MAN is it slow going. My clothes all have a "freshly washed" (or simply too small) tight feeling. These are clothes I have worn for years.
I am Canadian, but I am staying here with my boyfriend as we work on a Fiancee visa. This weight gain is a combination of "happy weight" plus the fact that I think they hide secret fattening ingredients in the food here to make you gain weight so you can partake of the diet industry! ;)
I have been working like a fiend the past 2 weeks to kickstart this diet and have lost a whopping .5 of a pound, even though I have been exercising like crazy and eating under 2000 cals per day of good quality food. Very depressing. I sure hope something happens soon.....
Anyway, keep up all the good work, and you certainly deserved a treat! :)
Jessica
