i am down 13 pounds, and i feel really good. for the first time, i’m not horrified by my reflection in the window of the theatre next door. my clothes are looser, and i definitely need to go down a size in jeans. the odd thing is, that will be the same size i wore when i was almost 30 pounds heavier, but that’s another post for another day.

last week’s weigh-in had me up a pound, but it was my tom, and now that’s over and my weight is 3 pounds lower. i just hope the weight stays off when i stop taking the phentermine. i’m trying it out today to see how it goes without taking it. here’s hoping my body adapts because i think i could be happy even if i ended up at this weight. it’s not my goal weight, but it’s not too bad. i just hope i at least maintain today’s weight by my official weigh-in on friday. and if i could surpass it, that would be even better!
