So I posted about this quite recently but my clothes have become a big motivation for me to lose weight, if not my primary motivation they’re my second.
I usually do a weekly weigh of myself and today I weighed in at 237.8lbs, down from 300lbs last October. I’ve been wearing my old clothes during my weight loss process as I hadn’t felt it necessary to buy new one. Wanted to? Absolutely but I didn’t think I was there yet. Today I decided to head to my local Old Navy to see just what the weight loss looked like in terms of clothing. Grabbed a few shirts, all in 2XL, for reference I’ve been wearing 4/5XL during this entire period, and went into a changing room.
As I always do when I go into a clothing store I braced myself for disappointment, in the past everything had always been too tight or a super bad fit on me so I expected the same this time as I didn’t think VISUALLY I’d lost much weight but with each shirt I found my smile growing and growing.
Out of 5 different shirts, a couple short sleeve button-ups, a regular T, a Henley and a Tank Top, all but the tank top fit me extremely well and the tank wasn’t even too far off but I didn’t feel comfortable in it. Normally it would be the opposite where maybe 1 shirt fit me decently but damn if I didn’t find myself actually getting a bit teary-eyed, not just at the progress I’d made but didn’t feel or see in the mirror but at how much I regretted not starting sooner.
Do I still have a ways to go? Absolutely I do, no doubt about that, but despite how I THINK I see myself in the mirror, it’s clear I’ve made progress and that has made my day, if not my entire week.
