I’m down about 8 pounds – still, since I started the most recent weight loss endeavor. I went shopping at the outlets in Freeport, Maine (home of my favorite LL Bean) and had to try on clothes because I knew that I was not going to be back to return items that did not properly fit. What a humbling experience. I’m up 2-3 sizes since I lost all the weight 4 years ago. This is not a good feeling – BUT it did strengthen my commitment to take off the 20 – 30 pounds that I gained over the years.
