Today was a frustrating day. I pulled on a skirt that fit a year ago and it was too tight. I pulled on a pair of pants that are a little snug that used to be looser. I completely freaked out.
How in the world are clothes not beginning to fit better? I'm halfway through block 2 of P90X3 and I feel like I should be seeing more progress. It was pretty devestating.
Then I got into work and realized that the shirt I was wearing was much baggier around my waist and hips. I started wondering if it had gotten stretched in the wash and then remembered all the times it was feeling a little snug and I couldn't get it to stretch. My frown turned upside down and I realized that progress is happening even if I'm not able to see it everywhere and even if ALL of my clothes aren't fitting better.
Of course, seeing progress everywhere would be great (and phenomenal motivation). But that's just not my body. Losing this weight is going to take a long time and a lot of consistency around exercise and diet. I know patience is crucial (and that's REALLY tough for me), so I'll take what I thought was a loss this morning and turn it into a mini win because even if it feels like it's slow going, small changes are happening to my body.
