F.I.T. Affirmation Day!!!!

[lmhall2000]

As I was doing my way too early walk this morning (thank you Sun for being up though!) I began to notice little things and thought I would try and start a F.I.T. Affirmation Day every month as we go on this amazing journey to stay healthy.

F.I.T. Finding Interesting Things to celebrate about our losing weight and feeling great!!! Here are my two for this month....


1. When I walk my forearms are not bumping my hips anymore!!!

2. My bras actually CAN lift and SEPARATE now!!!!


Come on let's hear your affirming interesting things you've noticed this month!! And pay attention- don't let those little "Oh I never noticed that before" moments slip away- they're little tokens of affirmation that YES YOU ARE A LOSER AND A WINNER at the same time!!!

ONWARDS & DOWNWARDS GANG!!!

I felt some bumps on my chest the other day, just below my collar bones. At first I was startled, then I realized.... They are BONES!!! That was cool.

Also, it's a really great feeling to walk into my closet each day and know that everything in there fots and looks good. I used to dread getting dressed in the morning. Now I look forward to it!

I was just tidying up my kitchen, when I realized I don't eat toast anymore. I used to have this incredible toaster, computer controlled jobby and I broke it. I was so disappointed to find it is no longer made, and bought some other fancy brand, and I don't think I've ever used it! I don't miss it either. INTERESTING
I think I might de-clutter my counter!

Keep the Faith!

Great thread, Tara!!! We do need to stop and savor the little moments along the way to goal! They are so sweet!

I realized the other day that I can touch my toes, again!! There's much less stomach in the way now!!

It's amazing how much better I feel!! That old tired-all-the-time feeling is gone and I sleep much better now!

Oh, and I found my neck again!!! I knew it was there somewhere, but it was buried under a pile of fat. It's still there and holding my head up a little higher now that I've lost some weight!

Great thread,

I found my hip bones. I can't stop touching this little boney-bone. It's been gone for so long!

I am enjoying shopping for clothes. It used to be so depressing, and I could never find things to wear or buy. Now, DH has to tell me to politely stop buying things. I love it! I have found so many cute things.

My rings no longer fit- Today while I was typing, my diamond was upside down, and my other ring on the other hand was upside down too. No matter what I do, they don't stay. When I get to goal, I will get them sized........once and for all!

What a great thread! I haven't had to throw out moldy bread or clabbered milk since last January because I don't buy it anymore. I <i>like</i> that part of Atkins

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Oooooh! Oooooh! I just found something else to celebrate!! Can I share? (Like I would stop, if you said no!!! hehehe!)

Yesterday. I realized that I can pull my jeans off while they are still fully buttoned and zipped!! I knew they were getting big, but I didn't realize they were that big!!! Now, if I can just find time to do a little shopping........

This is a great idea Tara! We should celebrate all the little milestones that are a part of getting healthy. There are so many things I have noticed but for me the big ones right now are having all the clothes in my closet fit and most being too big!! And more importantly buying new clothes in... the MISSES department! Now I love shopping for clothes.
I have to agree on the rings being too big as well. It's so motivating to see them sliding all around on my fingers. It's all the little things that keep me motivated. Those small changes in my body that amount to BIG ones as they add up.

I have noticed my hands and fingers are smaller. I think that's so cool! I'm so proud things are fitting together. I don't know if i thought my tummy would shrink and i would be puffy all over everywhere else. I too like feeling my hip. When i lay down at night i secretly run my hand across my tummy and just savor the moment cause there's no rolls there. I'm so proud i can do that. I know that must sounds really silly but it's so cool cause i know that's what my husband now feels am i'm so proud he can't grab a fat roll anymore.

 

[wiskband]

FOr me........its the fingers too
My ring falls off every now and then .......this could be a good reason for my hubby to buy me a new one! lol
Also, I am starting to fell a waist! YAAAAAHOOOOO
FIT great idea.

I want to thank you, Tara, and all who have shared their FIT affirmations. You have made me laugh, and I really needed a good laugh as I was feeling a little down today. So thanks for sharing your FITs. I do share some of your FITs, though I wish my jeans slipped off like mowsie dreamers. For me, my FIT is - I am back to 1 chin, I had a second one beginning to grow

 

[swea_pea1]

Once again, your stories inspire me! I've only just started being a loser (less than a week, so no weigh-in yet), but I so look forward to being able to tell my stories of FIT affirmation. Great job all and thanks for the

I got my pictures back from my vacation- I didn't see a double chin in any of them
I wore a ring today that my grandmother had given me many years ago- it hasn't fit for many years

My neice bought me a shirt from her college 2 Christmas's ago, that I just stuck in a drawer, cause I knew it would never fit... lo and behold last week, it fit... and fit well!

I know what you mean about pants getting longer... and shoes getting bigger... cool!
