I invited my brother's and sister's families for Thanksgiving, unfortunately neither will be able to make it. I was looking forward spending some time with them. Out of the two I feel that my sister really wanted to come. She tried to get the day off and was really disappointed when she couldn't. I then suggested that I could go to her place one weekend and we could do a bunch of holiday baking together. She seemed to really like the idea and wanted to make it a "sister's weekend. This made me happy because I have felt a loss of family when my mother died and I really look forward to getting that connection back.
So at last night's weigh-in I loss another pound. I was pleased since I wasn't really expecting that much since I lost 3.8 pounds the week before. It has been really nice wearing some clothes that didn't fit a couple of months ago. Today I was wearing a pair of pants that used to be kind of snug. I was feeling pretty good until I bent over to open a drawer at work and the zipper blew out. I asked my manager if I could go home and he was understanding of the situation. Normally I would have cried for and hour and felt crappy all day because I am such a "fat ass", but I am not. The pants are over 3 years old and before I stopped wearing them they were really tight. I think that poor zipper just had been worn down from all the abuse it took when I was heavier and today it gave out. This does make a good case for me to buy some new pants, because all of my old pairs had the same treatment. I love to have reasons to shop!
