I thought it would be good for me to write down some of the changes that I have noticed over the last 2 months. Some of them seem a little strange to me, but changes are changes and i'll take them!
* CLOTHING SIZES - Before starting I was struggling to get into size 20 shirts (my belly was the issue), and size 22 pants. Now 8 weeks in, my size 18 jeans are starting to fall down, and require constant pulling up, so must nearly be into a 16 but not actually game to try some on in fear of disappointment! Shirts - I'm down to a size 16 most of the time. My sister bought a whole heap of clothes the other day, so I tried them on just to see, and most of them fit. WOOHOO!
* SHOES - I'm not a huge shoe person. I have one pair of dressy 'thongs' and a pair of joggers that i wear. Joggers are fine, my thongs however, are too big. Length wise they are ok, but my foot has apparently got heaps skinnier, and they now flop around almost to the point of not being able to wear them anymore. Can anyone say devastated LOL Better be going and getting me the next size down lol.
* NECK - This one hasn't really come apparent to me until today when I took some 2 month photos. My neck has shrunk quite a bit. Sure I still have that double chin (triple? you get it) but it isn't nearly as prominent as it used to be. You can see for yourself in the photo that I'll put up at the end of this.
* THE APRON - Ahhh that dreaded bit of hanging belly, you know that one that flops over the top of your clothes, or the one you diligently tuck into your clothes so its not sooooo obvious? Mine is definitely getting smaller (again see photos) but i was kinda horrified when I took my photo this morning and it actually looks like its folding more than normal :-0 Scary stuff. I'm very excited about the fact that I'm losing weight and everything, but gee this apron is scaring me stiff. My belly has been stretched to buggery, and i'm TERRIFIED of it hanging around
* SCARS - Yeah how's this for an odd one LOL. A couple of years ago I had a few surgeries, to remove my gall bladder, and appendix, as well as a one because of some complications. Because of this I have quite a few scars across my tummy. Not huge ones, about 8 smaller ones and a slightly bigger one at my belly button. Last night, while in the shower, I realised that the 2 main ones (belly button and the one at the top of my belly) are no where near as big as they used to be. AND some of the smaller ones I can barely see at all! I'm pretty thrilled at that, although it really wasn't something that I thought would happen. It just never crossed my mind!
I'm sure there are probably heaps of other little things that I have missed, so as I notice i'll have to start writing them down, but they are my big changes for this week LOL
