*grumble*
I feel wonderful. Really, I do — my posture has improved dramatically over the past 1-1/2 weeks (wow, is that it?), and I just look better than I did a short time ago, enough so that even my husband has commented on it.
So, I grabbed the tape measure this morning. I mean, my belly feels so flat. I can feel my hipbones nicely. And you know what? Not only does the tape measure not show loss, it shows some slight gain. It could be PMS. It could be the enormo dinner we enjoyed at Carrabbas last night (yum!).
Or, it could just be that my shape is changing in ways that don’t show up in the metrics. I remembered seeing this thread on the T-Tapp boards:

I’m one of those people who is a LTL, short-torso/LL who hasn’t lost inches yet, BUT my pics tell a different story.
For those in the same boat or those who ONLY measure and are getting discouraged, try pictures.
I have my whole journey since April of last year documented. I wear the SAME size, SAME clothes as last year, but look how my shape has changed.
T-Tapp works!
See her pictures here. Then here. Then here. Pretty impressive, no? I was warned (when I posted my photos) that I might be one of these who saw changes in ways other than weight/inches loss. I doubted it then, but now I’m realizing that might be true.
Just keep tapping, just keep tapping. As her sig line says, Dieting makes you look good in clothes, exercise makes ya look good nekkid! This is about health, not about being skinny, damnit.
