Interesting...

For weeks (maybe months) I'd been having these weird cravings for toast. Even before WW, I was not in the habit of keeping bread around the house and I have never been a big toast eater. So I have no idea where this toast craving was coming from. Then I found some awesome reduced-calorie wheat bread. At only 2 points per (2 slice) serving I figured I could happily indulge that toast craving.

The funny part is that I noticed if I had some toast with breakfast or a sandwich for lunch, that I did not  find myself wanting popcorn in the afternoons. I guess my body was trying to tell me it wanted better carbs? Who knows. But if that's the case then what is my body trying to tell me when it's craving soda?

THAT IS NOT A REWARD!

Down another 2 pounds today at my weigh-in. I hate when that little box pops up and says, "Congratulations! You lost weight this week. Your new daily point allowance is...."

Losing yet another daily point is not a reward. Also that's 2 weeks in a row I've lost a daily point. I'm disturbed at that. I started at 45, and am now down to 39 daily points. But 2 of those 6 were taken away in the last 2 weeks. Um... not cool. I'd like to lose them a bit more gradually, thanks. Fuckers.

Last night I happened across a sweet clearance sale and got 2 pairs of jeans for $6 each- a size 20 and a size 18. Good lord, the 18s look so tiny!

I am wearing the brand new size 20s today. It feels strange to be wearing brand new jeans. No stretch denim, either. Every other pair of pants I own has some degree of lycra in the fabric. I am kind of shocked at how I look in the mirror.

Current measurements:
Bust (at fullest point) 47", down 2.5"
Waist 44", down 4"
Hips 54", down 3"

Current jeans size: 20 (down from 24)
Current bra size: 42DD (down from 44DD)

Last summer I gave away the vast majority of my smaller sized clothing. I had everything from 14-24 in my closet, but when a friend had gastric bypass and lost a bunch of weight I figured she would be able to make better use of the size 20 and smaller stuff. The one bummer is that I had pants that used to fit me perfect in every size down to 14. And now, it would be sooo nice to have all those so I could try them on and see how close I am to what sizes. I'm attending a clothing swap this weekend. Hopefully I can aquire some pants in various sizes. All of mine are too big, anyway.

What I really want right now is to eat an entire bag of Doritos.

I have been getting to the end of my days with a LOT of points left, lately. I don't feel like I've been eating less for breakfast or lunch or snacks, and then it hit me.... I was saving a lot of points up so I could go for drinks after work or drink wine at home in the evenings. But ever since I met my boyfriend (who is not a drinker), I have been drinking less and less. He must be a good influence.

Back on track.

I'm down 4 pounds from last week. I think perhaps I was retaining water. I did have a depo-provera shot 2 days before my weigh in. I'd also eaten a lot of salty foods.

I'm pleased to be back on track. Only 8 more pounds to my next big milestone.
