Day 17

Today is a great morning, I look in the mirror and can't believe my eyes. My belly is so much smaller, my butt is so much smaller, I can fit into my clothes without spilling over. For the first time ever, back in March, I had to buy a size 20. I was so unhappy about it, but I knew that spilling over my pants was less attractive than larger clothes that actually fit me properly. Now, after 16 ish pounds, my 20's sag and my 18's and some 16's are fitting great. I love that I feel like a new person, only after such a small amount of weight. I love that inches are a integral part of this diet, that it's not only weight, but you can see the fat disappear. Such motivation.

I am down .3 today, not a huge amount, but down none-the-less. One of the "pro's" on the HCG Diet yahoo group mentioned that sometimes you don't see weight as much, but your inches are still coming off. That the weight and inches seem to alternate. I know I'm losing like crazy in both areas. My weight today was 206.5. 4.5 pounds until I reach 20 pounds. Next week for sure.
