Notta lotta change
I feel bad reporting I’m in the same state as I’ve been for the last couple of weeks. I’m pretty sure there has been no gain and certainly no loss and we’re still painting. Done or not we’re going to try and move in this weekend. I’m so excited to start my new life. I’m going to get this site renewed and up and running again along with my motivation to get back on track.
Because I got rid of all of my heavy clothes and had pared down for our move, I have no clothes to wear. Until last night I was down to one pair of jeans, my size 14 Old Navy jeans. I didn’t want to buckle and buy a new pair but I stupidly painted in them. I couldn’t get away with wearing them everyday because of the identifying marks made by all the paint. I was sporting a real 80’s look so it’s probably for the best.
My 14’s barely fit and I was squeezing into them creating a flat and wide butt. I was so on the brink fitting into them that if I ate extra salty for the day I would bloat to the point of having to unbutton and fold down. So I got size 16 stretch from Target. This worries me a bit because when left with free space I get too comfortable and forget about the reality of the situation and tend to fill in the gaps. The only other thing I bought is a comfort sweat shirt. I’m still refusing to buy a bunch of larger clothes.
Hopefully I’ll be able to set up my office this weekend so that I can scan some images. Hopefully I can locate my scanner and everything else I own that I haven’t seen for five months.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I think you're doing a smart thing by being cautious with buying some bigger clothes. A few months ago, after a slight gain, I let myself start buying clothes that didn't feel tight. My 18's were uncomfy, so I bought a few 20's, "just for now"...then they started getting tight...and so on. It's amazing how giving yourself permission to backslide can lead to further backslides like that.
Hopefully you will get organized & fully moved in soon...I just recently discovered your journal and I'm looking forward to seeing more posts by you!
Just wanted to let you know you're not alone... I have been in a rut for the last few weeks also, I can't seem to get motivated. The bad thing is I had to buy a couple of pairs of pants that fit me at this size for work... plus I have a couple of looser pants from when I was in my first trimester and not they are loose but... umm, I have room- not a good thing.
Here's to both of us jumping out of the rut!!
Cheers!
I am in the same boat with my clothes. The only jeans I have are not quite comfy enough for me yet and I don't really want to buy anything bigger. I have "undergrown" the rest of my clothes. Not that I ever have too many at any given time anyway. Maybe if I get to a spot where I am more comfortable and could stay for awhile then I will buy more. Right now I try to get things that will make it for a size or two. I like them to get loose, but then I don't want them anymore! Oh well...here's to smaller clothes fitting ladies! Maybe we should start a clothes exchange!
When you're all moved in and settled you'll get back into it. Cut yourself some slack. Painting sucks and is hard work!
I hear you on the stretch pants. On weekends I always wear sweatpants and stretchy pants because I want to be comfortable, but its damamging!! If I sat around in snug jeans, I'd be reminded that I need to stay on track.
I've been way out of control on the weekends!

Don't feel bad about blogging about a rut! I'm glad you still post and haven't pulled a vanishing act. Anyway, we all hit plateaus eventually and I think you have a very good reason for the one you're in. It's probably good that you threw out the old clothes so you won't let yourself gain too much more. I keep at least one size up of my old clothes, but after that it's adios.
