Oh...honestly!

Ok, so I mentioned in a previous post that I am not always honest with myself. Right now, I owe it to myself to be honest. My pants are getting tight. So is my bra. I do NOT want to gain weight. Its one thing to maintain...its another entirely to gain. The scale is only showing about a 7 pound gain from pre-hearing loss days...but obviously those 7 pounds were combined with a loss of muscle mass because my clothes are definitely tighter. When I was younger (all through high school, college, and grad school) I would yo-yo all the time. My clothes would go from too-big to too-tight in a week or two. I would eventually buy bigger clothes. All that stopped in 2005. I moved to Michigan, I found peace in my life, and I got my yo-yoing under control. I can wear the same pants today that I could wear 4 years ago. I had one other instance in the last 4 years where I packed on a few pounds (less than 15). It was after I got married, fell down the stairs, started work with a new company, moved across the country, sold a house, and bought a house all in the span of about 8 weeks. I got that weight off. It is now time for me to get what will from now on be known as the 'hearing loss weight' off. It's less than 10 pounds. I can do it. What it will take is an attention to detail. And an acceptance of baby steps. And an acceptance that it might take time since I do this at a slow pace.
