Checking In – Underthings
Wow. I feel like so many things have happened since the last time I have checked in. The weight loss continues despite a social occasion (I have discovered that ‘going with the fish’ is nearly always the favourable option and hasn’t negatively influenced my diet) and many outings.
I’m currently at my lowest weight since… since before I came to Australia, at least. My husband and I have been needing replacement pants (we’ve worn most of our pants/jeans down to threads) and we finally got to the second hand shop this weekend. I was thrilled to be able to look in the section a size down from where I usually look. I’m not quite comfortable in most size 18s (you know how sizes go – they change from brand to brand) but I found a size 20 pair of pants that are comfortable now and have a drawstring so I can keep wearing them when I get loose.
I also needed some new knickers and Target had a big sale on, so I bought some knickers and two matching bra/knicker sets. My first! Yes, ladies, I have just bought my first two matching bra/knicker sets. Haha. I feel like I’ve completed some sort of rite of womanhood. All I can say is that wearing a matching set makes me feel quite sexy.
While putting things away, I found some knickers (did I mention: women’s underwear = knickers, men’s underwear = jocks?) that I bought when I first got over here. The knickers I bought this weekend are three sizes smaller. Three sizes! I was stunned.
All in all, things are going well and I’m actually losing weight this time, which is encouraging me not to stray from the diet. I haven’t had all that much difficulty with temptation, though, for which I am immensely grateful.
How are you going?

I’m doing great! Have just updated my blog with my latest weigh in results…
I am so freaking proud of you! A matching set… I haven’t had one of those since the early 1990’s! Well done on staying motivated and losing some weight!
I’ll have to get some new knickers soon… These ones are not going to do the job much longer!

That is awesome! There’ve been times when the scale isn’t moving but the undies are getting too big. I think it’s one of those all important signs that things are working.

Hehe. Undies are a definite way to keep track of things progressing. I hardly pay attention… until now, that is. I love my new stuff, even though my husband and I are the only people who will ever see them.
