Week Eight: Belts

I bought my mom bought me a pair of capris last May. I love them. They are dark with white stitching and a cute design on the pockets. They fit perfectly. They were also a size 16. But they fit so well that I looked like I was a 14. I wore them the other day and I couldn't keep them up! I had to put on a belt. I've had that belt since college and for a while I couldn't wear it. I don't know why I kept it. But I'm glad I did because now I need it! My clothes are all getting too big but I don't want to buy new clothes until I'm down where I want to be. I'd like to lose about 15 more pounds and I don't want to waste money on in-between clothes. This is such a great problem to have!!
This week I lost 1.2 pounds. I am 1 pound away from reaching my 10% goal. This is huge because you get a key chain when you reach your 10% goal. When you're on Weight Watchers, this key chain becomes a very coveted object. It symbolizes so much. I WANT IT!!! Thanksgiving stands between me and my getting a key chain next week. I will conquer Thanksgiving. I HAVE to conquer Thanksgiving (and the day before and after). People say, "Thanksgiving is just one day." But it's not. Thanksgiving lasts for as long as you have company and for as long as the leftovers are in the fridge. My company arrives in about an hour. We already have plans for lunch. But I have knowledge and tools on my side. What I'm doing is working and I will get through this weekend!! And darn it, I'm going to get myself a 10% key chain next Tuesday. Just watch and see!!!
