Weight Update

So I weighed myself today. 
The first time in a while.

Last weigh in: 139.5
Today: 135.5
Loss: 4
Total Loss: 42.5

Eeek! I’m very satisfied with my progress.
I can’t really think of a time when I consciously knew I was 135 pounds…
It might have been when I was 10 or 11.
The weather is beautiful here in Toronto.
Hope you’re all having a lovely lovely Friday afternoon ;)
 

Embarrassing stories from my past…

Having my own freedom was a big deal to me.
Take for example, the first times when I started going out by myself and getting my own spending money. 
This was both the best and worst thing ever.  
For a fat kid, spending money = food, clothes, food, food, food…
I used to plan out my weekly binges, exactly what I wanted.
Right before I would order my food, I would take out my cell phone and “fake call” one of my friends and ask them what they wanted to eat…
Yeah, sneaky I know.
It was the only possible thing I could think of doing, as I knew how bad it would look to order 2 meal size combos for myself… especially if the server was cute. 

Confession of the day #2: One time I went to the drug store and bought 3 small boxes of chocolate. Out of embarrassment I went and bought a birthday card too so the cashier would think I was buying all the candy for a friend…
It wasn’t anyone’s birthday.

Even though I’m 40 pounds lighter now. I still catch myself doing stupid things like this. A couple of weeks ago I did the “fake phone call” thing at a New York Fries.
My lameless amazes me everytime.

Thank you for reading :)
