No new low this week; but I’m close enough to predict that I just might break through to a new low next week.

I have some nice non scale victories this week. A few days ago, I decided to go “shopping” in my clothing storage area, otherwise known as our third bedroom. I have a lot of clothes in a lot of different sizes in there; even after going through everything and getting rid of clothes I just really absolutely do not love, there’s still a lot. But then, it takes a lot of sizes to span 140 pounds.

I found last summer’s summer clothes, and pretty much doubled my wearable wardrobe. The really nice part of this is that the clothes fit better than they did last summer, because I weigh less. I began my weight loss efforts after Labor Day, so while I don’t absolutely know what my weight was at any given point, I’m pretty sure I weigh less now — especially if these clothes are any indicator.

That’s nice to know, especially since I’m leaving on vacation in just a few weeks; I’ll have plenty of options to choose from. I’m really not that much of a clotheshorse, but that third bedroom claims otherwise.

Some of the clothes are even a tad baggy. This is a nice reinforcement of the weight I’ve lost so far, since I’ve been wearing many of the same clothes for the past 46 pounds; when you’re a big size, the amount of weight you must lose to change sizes is a lot more than it is between smaller sizes. Putting on clothes I haven’t worn since fall of last year absolutely shows a difference that was easy to overlook otherwise.

I’ve also been putting away some cooler weather clothes, and wondering if they’ll even be useful to me when cooler weather returns, which is months away. They probably will be, but I’ll get to experience that seasonal shift, again, and realize that they’ve become baggy. I’m looking forward that.

I know this isn’t an earth shattering blog post; not deep, not some huge discovery about myself — but it’s also about celebrating successes, and this is certainly one of them.
