Lose Weight Now

As I mentioned before, I have all kinds of different sizes in my closet from when I was pregnant and afterwards. The lowest size that I have in my closet is a 6, which is were I would love to be again by the end of the year. When I look at my closet it actually makes me sick. First of all, the money that I have had to spend on different size clothing could have been better spent on buying one or two sizes and actually getting use out of them. Secondly, I look at my size 6 pants and dresses and I get so discouraged. They are probably half of what I am now. I can’t even pull the pants up past my thighs.

 Now, I know that I just had a baby less than 3 months ago, but this is not all baby weight. I have mentioned before that I gained honeymoon weight as well. Sometimes my weight loss just seems like too big of a task. I am only 2 pounds away from my first goal but yet I can’t get the bigger picture out of my mind. I am 22 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight and 45 pounds away from ultimate goal. It just feels like it’s just too much to handle.

 I know I am the same person who told everybody to concentrate on short term goals, but it is so much easier to give advice than actually take your advice. So, I have placed my size 6 pants out were I can see to motivate me. I am going to turn this around and use them to motivate me instead of frustrate me.

I also vow not to go shopping again for clothes, unless it is something that I need (like maybe a new dress for Easter), until I can fit into a size 8 again. This way I will not waste money, because I am not going to be this size for long!
