You're kidding, right?

Yesterday morning I was on a quest to find a black skirt that was inexpensive and could be used for church until I drop another size or two. I have never been to Fashion Bug before, but as I was driving by I saw a sign that said "$5.99" and knew I had to stop. I don't have the money to spend a lot on clothing right now, but wanted the skirt and possibly a few shirts (my workout clothes are getting too big again). The problem is that I had no idea what size I was. I kept picking up clothing items and holding them up to me . . . feeling kind of lost. The sales lady came up to help me and told me she thought I was a size 14 pant and a size 12 top. I laughed and said, "You're kidding, right?" She wasn't . . . and she was right!! I can't believe that in 14 months I have gone from a size 38 to a size 12. I was actually too small on top to shop the women's area at the store . . . I had to purchase my top from the MISSES section!!! It was so much fun and I got 40% off what I purchased. It was smart shopping . . . and fun for a change. 180 pounds gone!
