The Dreaded Bathing Suit!

 I guess I look worse naked but much better in clothes especially after losing my first 46.5 pounds.  I was thinking that the cellulite on my thighs was almost gone and bravely posed for my husband to take a photo....Yikes!  Better than I was but still a long way to go.  No point in getting upset though.  Pictures help me to see reality because without them I simply imagine myself as I wish to be.  This can be a good thing but it also can be dangerous because not facing reality makes it very difficult to gather my resources to change it.  I am moving day by day in the right direction.  Today my friend Pat and I went shopping....it was shopping day after all and I was thrilled to fit into size 20 pants (from 26 before) and 1X tops or size 20 blouses instead of 4X or 26/28.  I bought five new things and came home almost dancing.  We had a good healthy lunch and went into the pool for our exercises to the music of Freddy Mercury!  I have booked a private pilates lesson on Thursday so will add that to my list of exercises.  Imagine!  I began on the treadmill for 10 minutes, then collapsed with exhaustion.  Now, I can do 30 minutes, the bike, the rowing machine, weights in the pool, stretching with my bands and am adding a new form of exercise that would have been too hard for me a few short months ago.  This is working.  I'm getting better every day every way!
