Hey look I can fit in these 12s!!!    Uh, not! 3+ more inches off the hips is what I need!  This is the frustrating part of my weight loss journey.  These pants belong to my god-daughter age 24.  She lived with me a few years before she when off to college about 6 yrs ago.   I have been holding on to them determine that one day I would get in them since she did not want them anymore.  Hey almost there, right?  I have lost a lot of weight going from a 16w/18 to a ‘stuck between sizes’- not quite a 12 but not quite a 14 and not too many 13 sizes fit these hips either LOL!.  Yeap, I’m stuck it is a good frustration; I’m still motivated to keep doing the right thing.  These are the pants I will use to determine my next goal since my weight is not moving like it did in the past!  As my friends on bb.com mentioned, don’t look at the scale, just focus on the way your clothes fit! With these slacks I will see if they are right LOL!!!

My 3 year old granddaughter Parys decided to put on her mother’s glasses, climbs on the loveseat, to find a sweet spot and just be.  No expression, no reaction, just a patient moment.  Parys wasn’t posing; she was just waiting for her mom to finish doing whatever she was doing so that they could go outside and play.
Sometimes our best moments are not when we force things, but sometimes they happen naturally if we can just find our sweet spot, wait and just be!
Like Parys, I want to ‘work my agenda’ but frustration comes when it involves something or someone else.  I could make things worse by throwing a tantrum, getting upset, binging, stressing out, etc.; however, now I’m old enough to realize that it will not make things happen quicker because I have no control over them.  So I have learned to just find my sweet spot by using meditation, prayer, exercise, laughter, love, etc., rest in the disciplines that I can control and ‘just be’ until it’s my moment to shine like a Diva!
