Another One Bites the Dust

I feel like some times I take one step forward and fall two steps back. Like a couple of weeks ago I lost 5 lbs just to gain it all back the very next week, and the next week I only managed to lose 2.5 lbs. Thats 3 weeks and a net loss of + 2.5 lbs !!!

I don't mean to be a downer, but I just had another one of those moments and I just need to vent a bit. I have really thick thighs. In fact throughout school I used to get teased "Thunder Thighs." I always hated it, because it just drew attention to something I hated. Well fast forward a few years - I still have them dang "Thunder Thighs" and they just broke through yet another pair of pants.

I swear it's like it happens every couple of months or so. If you can see (I put a red patch behind it) the dang hole staring at me like an evil eye - right on my inner thigh. It was my favorite pair of jeans, the one that made me feel comfortable and sexy. Nothing makes me more angry then ruining my own cloths by doing nothing except wearing them.  Argh!

I know some people might wonder why I care so much to lose weight when I don't look particularly over weight. But it's because my weight effects my life, and my self-esteem negatively. And i'm sure that it hasn't helped my terribly painful knees any to be holding an extra 50 or so pounds.

Two days until my next weigh in, it will mark a month for me - I hope I can have lost at least 2.5 more lbs. It would really suck to have an entire month with no loss (and one less pair of pants that fit).
