Yet again, I was disappointed by our pictures and measurements today. At just under 30 pounds lost, I still can't see a difference in the photos. I guess if I really squint, I can kind of tell my double chin is a little smaller, but otherwise the changes are too subtle to notice just yet. I'm thankful for all the people saying they can tell, including our hairdresser who hadn't seen us for 5 weeks. Which on that note, my crazy (literally) mother has been telling people that I am "unrecognizable." Part of me wonders if in her head I really am, or if she is trying to sabotage me. My hairdresser had just seen my mother 5 minutes before we got there and she had informed him "you won't even recognize her she's lost so much." As politely as he could, he said "I can tell you've lost weight, but unrecognizable? I knew who you were!" At the time, I just laughed it off as she's been telling others the same thing, including a friend of hers who said "according to your mom, you've lost like 50 pounds and then I saw you post to FB that you lost 20 pounds." Now I'm wondering why she would say such things. Am I supposed to be embarrassed I haven't lost that much? Is she really just trying to lie and brag to people to make herself look good (as the mother of someone who's lost so much, and probably the correct answer.)
Anyway, enough about that. Here are the measurements from 8/21/11, 9/16/11, 10/9/11 and 11/6/11:
Neck: 16" / 15" / 15.25" / 15.5"
Bicep: 15" / 15" / 15" / 14.5"
Chest: 49" / 48.5" / 47.5" / 46.5"
Waist: 49" / 48" / 48" / 47.5"
Hips: 50" / 50" / 50.5" / 49.5"
Thigh: 26" / 24.75" / 24.5" / 24"
Calf: 17.25" / 17" / 16.75" / 17.5"
In the bigger picture, I have to focus on the fact that I have lost 9" since 8/21/11 (as long as both thighs, biceps and calves have lost/gained the same inches.) Nine inches in 11 weeks isn't too shabby, right?
