Holy crap. I always eat/drink a lot at dinner parties, but this time I ate enough calories for an entire day (1770). Thank God I went for a run this morning, so my surplus for the day was only in the 400s.
On the bright side, my stepdad looked pointedly at my jeans and asked "are you continuing to lose weight? You're looking great." Apparently I get shout-outs every 15 pounds. YAY!
Another thing that's nice about losing weight, at least when you have a little money, is that you have a good reason to buy cute new clothes. I got some sweatpants on my way back home that I'll be wearing to yoga tomorrow morning. I used to only buy clothes once or twice a year, when I'd get $50 or $100 in giftcards for my birthday and Christmas, but it's nice to just go get new clothes when the ones I have start to suck.
That's all. Goodnight!

I can wear jeans again!
Tried on my two pairs of jeans that have been languishing in the closet. They both fit! The 10P would still be a little uncomfortable to sit down in for extended periods, but I'm wearing the straight 10 right now. It has a hole I need to patch, no doubt caused by my previous expansion, but it's not straining and I don't think it will break again once I fix it.
I'm enjoying the prominence of my collarbone, which can henceforth be (dare I say it?) "thinspiration" for me. (Don't look at me like that. Just because anorexics came up with it doesn't mean it's not a clever word.) I'm back to 170 today and ate 1345 calories yesterday. I swear I'm not trying to negate my booster day, but I'm really not hungry after overeating that much. And I did eat four times yesterday... they just were small amounts, I guess. It was entirely a coincidence that my boyfriend decided to make virtually-no-calorie miso soup for dinner, too, and I indulged in a beer because I knew I'd be way below target anyway. So, not my fault? But maybe my lower booster cap will cause me not to rebound like that. I do worry that when I overeat and then undereat the next day that I'm canceling out the metabolic effect I'm supposed to get by eating a lot. Anyway... enjoying life, enjoying my clavicle and my reclaimed pants. Ta ta for now.
