I'm looking forward to being able to fit into my skinny fat clothes, let alone my fat skinny ones. I'd be a lot happier if losing weight were as easy as putting it on. I know it's calories in, calories out...but we all have such different metabolisms that that tired mantra loses quite a bit of meaning. I'm down 13 pounds from doing Seattle Sutton, but in the last two or three weeks, I've been stagnant. And, in classic fashion, when that happens I throw my hands up and order a pizza or pile on more cheddar on my portobello and red onion panini. I'm going to Italy at the end of August, and I really want to be down another 15 pounds so I can float down the streets of Como rather than shuffle. Ugh. I will say that for once in my life, my anxiety has had a positive side effect -- the new medication I'm on tends to lower my, um, voracious appetite. I hear you.
