Food- YAY! (Tricia)

I have been stalking the UPS site all day to see when my food was coming. I was desperately low and ate three bars and a shake today. But when I got home, there it was!! I am so excited to try all of the new things! I got:
Shakes: Dutch chocolate, mocha, strawberry cream, appetite suppressant choc and vanilla
bars: peanut butter, caramel, s'mores, strawberry crunch, and oatmeal raisin
Snacks: Parmesan and nacho chili puffs and cinnamon and honey mustard pretzels
Soups: chili, cream of chicken, and tomato
pudding: Chocolate and vanilla

Hopefully this will be a big variety and I can change it up every day!
I am also super excited to report that I tried on pants that I got at Christmas that were too small and they now fit. Hello to all the clothes I have been saving until I "lost some weight" or clothes that I kept in the back of the closet that I was determined to fit into. Not just smaller sizes, but just clothes of the same size that were just cut in a way that they didn't fit me. Well, not any more! This fatty is going to wear them, even if they are not in style, just because I CAN!

For years I have avoided looking in the mirror from the neck down because I really was never happy with what I saw. But today I snuck a peak in the ladies room and I can see it! My arms, my face, my muffin top, my FUPA (fat upper private area as we like to call it), and I actually have a neck now instead of just the layer of fat between my chins and my chest. This was my motivation to keep going. Who knew that just a little weight loss yield such results! Well, bring it on summer, I have some tanks at the bottom of the drawer that I haven't worn yet.

Good luck on your weigh- in tomorrow Jennifer! Call me first thing in the morning. I am so glad you were able to eat your lean in green meal at lunch today so you didn't feel deprived watching everyone else eat. Good for you!

So....after reading your post I am wondering if you will be showing up at Christmas next year wearing MC Hammer pants just because they havent fit since the 8th grade? HAHAHAHAHA. "just because you can". hahahhaa. I am laughing so hard right now. Or maybe some jeans with the elastic on the bottoms? HAHAHA... I shouldnt laugh because I am sure they will come back soon...like everything else! But in all seriousness...I am so glad that you are having all these positive experiences with yourself!! I am so proud.

For the record, never had MC hammer pants, but I might bring back my Umbros. HAHA the only thing that would fit over my cast that summer!
