It's the small things......

Being a bigger girl and having so much weight I want/need to lose, it is harder to "tell" when you have lost a "chunk" of weight.  Take me for example: I have lost 27 lbs. and some people can tell, but you still see a bigger girl in front of you.  Now if someone who only needed to lose, we'll say 50 lbs and they have lost 27 lbs it would be a huge noticeable difference.  Some people may even say she is a whole new person.  Situations like that are frustrating and irritating.  So what I am trying to do is notice the smaller things.  By the smaller things I am referring to things that maybe only you (the one who losing the weight) may notice.  I have the perfect example.  TOWELS!!!!  You have "regular" bath towels, beach towels, huge towels and hotel towels (we all know the size of a hotel towel is completely unrealistic).  Now most people have "regular towels they use after a shower.  I use to have the most kick ass towel that was a "huge" towel and it wrapped all around me and it was awesome.  Sadly I forgot it NC, well more like I couldn't fit it in my suitcase, but either way.  So, I am using one of my sisters towels.  She has the typical "regular" towel.  When I first got here I would wrap in it and it would not even close together, not even a little bit.  Well, today when I showered and I got out and wrapped the towel around me I noticed something different.  I noticed that when I went to close the towel it cover across both breast and part of my tummy.  of course the part that wraps my hips will be awhile yet, I got some hips on me lol.  When I felt that and saw that, it made me


smile a little brighter because there is the proof.  It is like when your clothes start to fit a little looser, which mine are, you get excited.  The proof does not always have to been on the scale and sometimes the "other" proof is way cooler.
