lost something. Like at least 30 lbs. I just pray I've not misplaced it.
I've not done the scale test, which is ever so depressing. But I've done the pant test. Now guys, you probably won't get this, but the women will.
Like most women, I have several pairs of pants in a variety of sizes. My FAT pants (the ones you wear when the others seem a little snug, or you're tired and/or sick and feel gross anyway, or maybe they're just the ones you find that are clean) were... well, hard to stay up. The waist kept falling down -- almost embarrassingly so. And when I wore them, people remarked on how much weight i had lost.
I stopped wearing those, and went back to my "regular" sized ones, which indeed, seemed loose. I bought a pair of pants, same size -- they seemed loose, but I thought because they're knit, elastic waist, no probable change.
Last Friday I wore my favorite pants to work. They seemed loose. But hey, they're old. Maybe I just lost weight over the break while sick -- after all, I didn't eat much.
But my jeans. My jeans seemed loose. This morning I thought I'd wear black jeans to work -- not necessarily the most professional looking, but hey, I've been sick. The jeans were pretty loose. And I thought that maybe I'd try on those twill pants I've not been able to wear in a very long time. In fact, I've only worn them a couple of times and the waist seemed too tight then, and they showed my tummy bulge more than I liked. I put them on and they fit -- in fact, they're loose!
So I think I've lost something. I don't know how much. I hope I can keep it off. Maybe it's a good thing I was sick and couldn't sew up the new pants I was going to make!
I don't believe you have lost or misplaced that weight. You have taken it off for good!!!

Methinks you can "brave" the scale test...it sounds as though you're in for a delightful surprise!!!
The jeans are the "acid test" (even if NOT 'acid washed' !), so if they're baggy - it's REAL!
See you in Chicago!
