Today was slightly discouraging.
I shopped at three different stores, only walking out with maybe one item of clothing. I haven't spent that much time shopping for clothes in 6 months, which coincidentally is about when I got married. Don't get me wrong, I have bought a few shirts & a pair of pants since then, but yesterday as I was looking in my closet, I got extremely frustrated. I was sick of all of my clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. I've always been one to like nice, new clothes, but I haven't had the money or time to go shop for myself. Nor have I had the energy to be let down when I find that none of the clothes I want or like fit.
Today was one of those days.
Even XXL at some places didn't quite fit. I was so frustrated, but I just thought to myself, "It's just the beginning. 15, even 10 more pounds will make you feel better."
& So, I went to Barnes & Noble, found myself a Low Calorie cookbook & I left feeling encouraged! One stupid day of shopping isn't going to bring down my spirits. Although this weigh in might. After 2 consecutive weeks of having family in town, no time to spend at the gym & a much larger amount of time eating, I'm not much looking forward to it. but how I react to what's going on in my life is completely up to me.
Note to Self: Be very mindful of what you eat this weekend, do not lower your standards just because it's an event.
