The Pants Weight Loss Diet
When I gained weight I kept favorite outfits. As I gained over a period of years I was left with favorite outfits of different sizes. I found scales to be very demoralizing. Sometimes I did everything perfectly and still gained a pound.

So I came up with the pants diet, sometimes it includes a skirt or a dress. What I do is pick out an article of clothing that is either tight or I can't fit into. My success is measured by being able to wear it! And by having to give away the ones that are now too big!

I am at the point where I can fit into most of my size 14 pants, depending on how they are cut. Now I have a pair that looks beautiful with a newer top. They are one of my Mom's that she can't fit into and the size is worn off but considering that I can't get into it, I think it is a 12. So this is my next goal. Wish me luck!! I'll let you know when I wear them.

I'm at the weight loss stage where I have to increase exercise to lose any more. Starting part time additional work will not make that easy but I have decided to call friends to set up walking buddies. Even if tired I usually will walk with a friend.
