My 2X Tops Are Getting Looser

For the past couple of days I've noticed that my tops are not as tight as they were getting. The holidays saw a 10-pound weight gain that affected how my tops fit. I am looking forward to when they are loose. It's been a long time since I've worn 1X but that day will come. Sorry to say, one of my 2X slacks is still too tight to wear. I'm working on that!

Yesterday I ate so much that I was quite full, yet the calorie count was just 1526, below the previous average of 1550. Here's my intake:

My breakfasts are most often high fiber cold cereal or oatmeal. I eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. These foods have been on my diet for my lifetime. The weight gain was not prevented by eating these healthy foods, but by eating excesses of foods that have fat and/or sugar in them--two things that make my mouth water!
