Hate-loss challenge update & NSVs

So, I guess my post about this will largely be the fact that I bought a sexy bra and matching panties yesterday to wear for Hubs last night since it was our anniversary.

First time I've worn something sexy in a few years.

I bought two new pairs of exercise pants yesterday - size LARGE since my XXLs and my XLs keep falling down.

And I was also able to wear Hubs winter jacket ZIPPED UP!!!  When I bought it for him a couple of months ago, I couldn't come close to zipping it up.

I think, overall, my mood is better and more positive.  I did have a tough time when trying to find some sports bras that I would like and that would really cut down on the "movement" and I am still SOL on that front.

Although being positive about MYSELF does not come naturally to me -- it is getting easier.

And I am getting a lot better at accepting compliments.

  1. This is awesome, FAB! Your progress just keeps amazing me. When I started reading you several months ago I had no idea you'd come this far so quickly. Thank you for participating in my Challenge for the month. Having great, supportive friends like you has made all the difference in getting through this Challenge myself. XOXO

  5. Keep up with the positive attitude! You're making such progress! As for a sports bra, I can never find 1 that gives me enough support so I always double up. I have heard that the ta-ta tamers from lululemon are outstanding, but they're $50...which is a little steep for me!
