Belting it out......

First, let me say I am doing well. I am now down to 250 and I am still on track! That being said, I had a real "OMG" moment today. I have a loose pair of jeans that I love, so I dug out an old belt that I love to hold them up. I hadn't worn this belt in a few years, but it looks awesome. Well.....it no longer fits me. It is too small. It wouldn't even fasten! Talk about a wake up call! When you put on weight, you can play it off as muscle build up or you can claim that you "wear it well" or whatever. When your clothes don't fit, you can say they shrunk in the dryer or you are just bloated. Belts don't shrink. Belts go around you. When a belt doesn't fit, it is proof that you are bigger around. No wearing it well or bloat or what-have-you will justify an ill fit. You are bigger around. End of story. So, I am now fully aware of just how big I have gotten. My 1st huge goal is to be under 200 pounds. I have a new side goal: to fit into that belt again! I will do it! I will wear my belt again with pride!
