The Perils of Losing Weight

Well, after gaining a few pounds over the Thanksgiving holiday (despite having a cold), I was able to get those pounds back off. So, I'm holding steady around 161. It's both a good and bad thing. The good, I'm keeping the weight off, and I never want to be heavyset again (like I was a year ago at this time). The bad, most of my winter clothes are too big, including all my sweaters, my button down shirts, and sweatshirts. I also had bought a new winter coat at the end of the season last year, but even now it's too big. It's a brand new Columbia Bugaboo parka, size Large, and I'm swimming in it. I've slowly been trying to build up my wardrobe with size small and medium clothes, but it's not easy. And I've been holding onto my old clothes, just in case I ever gain the weight back. I think that may be my problem, and perhaps I just need to get rid of all the old clothes (too large). Seriously, I never want to gain the weight back, and what better motivation to continue keeping it off than to just get rid of everything that is too big. And maybe I just need to buy that new winter coat, and try to sell the old one on Craigslist. And even though I'm holding around 160 lbs, I STILL have that stupid spare tire around my waistline. No matter what I do, I just can't get rid of that. So really, I'm a chunky 160, and if I get rid of this extra fat, could easily trim down to 155 I think. Hmm, December 1st was supposed to be my deadline. I think I need to kick it up a notch.
