Need more clothes!

Date:   8/16/2006 11:46:56 PM ( 18 y ago)

Today I had some frustration as I dressed for my new job. Nothing fits!!  At least none of my nice clothes.  The pants I wore to the interview a couple of months ago are hanging on me now, and the second-nicest pants I have were only slightly salvaged by a belt (that I had to dig a new notch into).  I still have two new pairs of pants that I cannot fit into, though. One is a pair of very light beige dress pants, size 22, that I can still barely pull up. The other are size 22 brown capris which I love and can now fasten if I contort myself into a pretzel, hold my breath and exert the power of a thousand superheroes.  But hey- I couldn't fasten them at all a week ago!  Seriously, though, progress is being made. 

This morning I still weighed about 267- that is a miracle. I never weighed under 270 for more than one day before the fast.  Makes me want to do another fast this weekend!   My appetite is still lower this week than it was before the fast, and I am happily going along with it.  For breakfast I had half a cantaloupe and used the little crater as a bowl for grapes, blueberries and cherries.  At the meeting while the staff ate the catered meal of meat and cheese sandwiches, I made a little salad from the leftover lettuce and tomato.  For dinner I had the other cantaloupe half and filled it with cottage cheese.  I've had a couple of snacks since dinner: nuts (since I've hardly had any this week) , dried mango, and more fresh fruit. Boy, am I full!!  I think only ate because I was studying and probably needed a distraction. :-)
