Weight Loss Observations

1. Feet Shrink – Everyone is different, but 50 lbs has been equal to half a shoe size for me. Other losers report the foot becomes narrower.

2. Head Shrinks – This one really surprised me. I had to readjust an old baseball cap after not wearing it for months. A smaller head physically is in no way representative of my current ego size.

3. Fiber Needed – Your body can go into a more conservative mode when eating less. Eat more fiber to counter the possibility of not “going.”

4. Clothing Budget – While you’re still working on losing, it is tempting to NOT buy new clothes since you may only be able to wear them for a month or so before you’re ready for the next size down. Instead, buy at least two pairs of pants for each size you lose. It will provide you with incentive to keep going when you see how amazing you look in the correct size. Ease the costs involved by shopping at a thrift store. Re-donate the clothes when you’ve “undergrown” them.
