I am finding little bits of inspiration when I least expect them and need them most. Some days it truly is the little things that make all the difference. I’ve been back and forth about the way my clothes fit. Some days I think WOW and others I try on many things before I finally run out of time and just settle for something.
Today I was trying to find a T-shirt that would compliment the shoes I wanted to wear. I realize this may be a little backwards in putting together an outfit, but it’s better if you don’t try to figure out how my logic works. I pulled out a shirt I bought over a year ago. I had never worn it. I tried it on many times, unfortunately I didn’t when I bought it and the shirt was too tight when I got it home. It’s been a depressing reminder all this time because it was a Women’s XXL and it was literally too tight to even be comfortable in let alone presentable for wearing in public. I can’t tell you how many times I have tortured that shirt by trying to stretch it out so I could wear it! I would do all the fat girl tricks I knew, but the shirt was just not big enough. I knew it was the perfect colors and theme for today, so I grabbed it for another try and today was a WOW day!! It fit great and looked good too! I can’t believe I forgot to take a pic of me in it!
It was not a good food day. AGAIN. I had a bratwurst and pasta salad at a grad party, candy and Pepsi at the movies and topped it off with a giant burger and fries at dinner, also more Pepsi. But a friend reminded me that the scale Not moving isn’t all that bad considering I admittedly hadn’t been on top of my game with the food or exercise over the past couple of weeks. I don’t want to accept excuses, but this is true it could be a lot worse and I could have put on weight considering how I’ve been eating. So I’m turning the pity party into a bit of inspiration since I don’t have to recover back to a starting point. I just have to move forward.
These small signs of progress are giving me hope that I’m headed in the right direction and truly am moving forward! Am I looking for the inspiration…..Maybe, but it wasn’t very hard to find.
