ONLY pants and the promise of 114 pounds

August 14

ONLY--Finally, I can wear you!

Today, I went to my maternal grandmother's house with my mother again. To avoid a disastrous meal like last time, I deliberately dragged her to the mall so she wouldn't have to cook at home. At the mall, we walked all the way to the third floor, which specializes in women's clothing, and I saw new arrivals from the brand ONLY.

I never used to look at this brand because I knew I couldn't possibly fit into their clothes. Even if their clothes were incredibly nice, I wouldn't go in to avoid unnecessary embarrassment. But today, almost inexplicably, I went in for the first time. I've seen some of my classmates who weigh over 130 pounds wear ONLY clothes, so I figured my current weight should be enough. I spotted a pair of pants I liked and timidly approached a sales clerk to ask if they had my size. She turned back to the counter and searched frantically. At first, I was really afraid she'd come back and tell me they didn't have my size. That would be so embarrassing. Just as I was about to slip away with my grandma, the sales clerk came back with the pants in my size. This was the first time I felt a sales clerk looked like an angel; she saved my incredibly fragile self-esteem.

After thanking her profusely, I went into the fitting room. Like a gambler with their eyes closed, I blindfolded myself, slipped my leg into the pants, and pulled them up as if gambling. And guess what? I actually managed to get them in! Overjoyed, I didn't forget to button them up. The pants were very form-fitting and looked great, making me appear even lighter than my usual 125 pounds. I rushed out of the fitting room, and my grandma, seeing my happy face, went and bought the pants without asking any questions. She even asked if it was enough and if I wanted more clothes. I said no, because I'm still on a diet, and if I bought too many now, I wouldn't be able to wear them later when I lose more weight, and it would be a waste to throw them away. As for these pants, I'm going to keep them as a souvenir. They're the ones I buy from every fashion store, and they have my size! From now on, when I go shopping with Feifei, I won't have to wait outside or make excuses like buying water or going to the bathroom to avoid seeing clothes I like but not being able to buy them.

Right now, I weigh 125 pounds, and I can walk around with my grandma for an entire afternoon in 6cm stilettos without feeling tired. I haven't been able to swim these past few days, so I have to walk even more to burn calories. You can imagine how unlucky I am-after hitting a plateau, it's my period. But I still feel luckier than many girls who are trying to lose weight; they often don't lose weight during their periods and might even gain weight, but I don't. In fact, it seems like I lose weight faster during those days. I need to work harder; if I lose a little more weight, I think I'll look much better.

While practicing yoga tonight, I was thinking, when will I be able to wear such sexy workout clothes like the yoga instructors on TV? Hehe, never mind, I'll stop writing now, or I'll start dreaming.

The platform makes things twice as effective.

Life goes on, and so does the diet.

I knew it! While others don't lose weight during their period, I actually lose weight faster because I don't exercise as much as usual, yet I still lose a pound. It's so efficient! It's a shame I could exercise during my period; I'm sure I could lose even more.

Another reason for my weight loss, I think, is that I had just passed a plateau, so the speed was relatively fast.

Grandma called to ask if I'd worn the new pants I bought yesterday. I joked with her that I hadn't because they didn't fit anymore. Grandma actually took it seriously, and wondered to herself how they fit perfectly when she saw me put them on yesterday. I laughed and told her I'd lost another pound. The old lady was finally relieved and told me I was really amazing, that I'd definitely achieve great things in the future. I asked her why, and she said that someone with that kind of perseverance can accomplish anything and overcome any difficulty. Oh dear, Grandma's getting a bit profound.

Today, because it's my period, to maintain my hard-earned weight loss results, I didn't eat anything all day, just drank sugar-free Coke. I finished the bottle of Coke in three separate servings, just like a person needs to eat three meals a day. I have the courage to not eat, but I honestly don't have the courage to not drink water for two days; doing that would probably be a recipe for disaster.

I didn't realize it until it was mentioned, but now that I think about it, I realize how close school starts is. There are only two weeks left before school starts, and I need to work twice as hard to lose weight. Once school starts, I can't be as intense as I am now, because studying is also very tiring. During holidays, I can do whatever I want; if I'm tired or hungry, I can just collapse into bed and sleep. But I can't do that during school. First, I don't have as much time to sleep, and second, during school, I need to be as energetic as a little pig at all times.

Another day has passed. Life goes on like this, day after day, year after year. So, losing weight can be a lifelong pursuit for a woman. As long as she lives, she will continue to lose weight, because every woman will always feel like she is 10 pounds too fat.

Losing weight is a battle I'm determined to fight.

114 jin agreement

For the first time, I felt incredibly proud of myself. I actually managed to stick to my diet for 60 days! Although I'm not skin and bones, I look completely different in the mirror now compared to the "meatball" I was 60 days ago.

I was very satisfied with the weight I received this morning. Even though my starting weight was much lower than before, my weight loss rate didn't seem to have changed much. Before the plateau, I lost about 1.5 pounds a day, and now it's about the same, around 1 pound a day. At 116 pounds, I've lost 56 pounds in 60 days. I have to admit, I feel lighter; even breathing doesn't feel as difficult anymore.

Now I only eat one meal a day. Although most of the time I obediently eat salmon sashimi, I'll change things up when I'm in a good mood. For example, today I decided to go to KFC for a treat. After getting ready, I was about to head out. Oh right, since I started dieting, I've added another daily routine: getting dressed.

At 11:00 AM sharp, I appeared at the underground KFC near Xidan Zhongyou Department Store. As soon as I entered, a strong aroma of Orleans chicken wings wafted towards me. If it were before, I would have rushed to the counter, pulled out 16 yuan, and bought two pairs without hesitation. But now, all I could do was adjust my breathing, inhale deeply, exhale-enough smelling, done! Then, with a satisfied smile, I started queuing. What's wrong? Not eating it doesn't mean I haven't mentally possessed it! When it was my turn, I ordered a small-sized seasonal vegetable salad, nothing more. The server asked, "Miss, don't you need a drink?" I said, "I would like one, but you don't have sugar-free Coke here!"

Such a delicious meal should be savored slowly. It took me half an hour to finish a small salad. If I didn't have to finish lunch before noon, I could have eaten even longer. My mother always says that the body's metabolism is most active in the morning, so it's important to eat before noon to burn off the calories more easily.

After wandering around Huahui for more than two hours, I went swimming empty-handed, having caught nothing. I didn't want to go to the Dongdan Swimming Pool, which was so far away, and since there was a swimming pool at Cultural Square, I went there directly. I was a little excited about swimming today because I was wearing my new swimsuit, a bright yellow base with orange-red patterns-a very eye-catching color. I finally got rid of my all-black look.

It rained in the evening, so I couldn't go for a run. I ended up running in place for more than an hour. After I finished, I collapsed on the bed and couldn't recover for 20 minutes.
