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!

Well, I guess it's officially time for me to stop reading your blog because I can no longer feel happy about your weight loss :) This week I've gained 5 lbs. Frustrating, as I'm sure you might remember!
ReplyDeleteReally though, it must feel so nice to go into a regular store and find things right off the rack. I had no idea you used to be a size 38! I usually hear people saying they are size 24 or something but never 38. You must feel like the tiniest thing now!
Ironically, my brain isn't always in sync with my body. I see booths at restaurants and still worry that I won't fit. LOLOL. I'm a little frustrated that I have lost so little this year (I think only 10 since January), but the inches are still coming off so I won't worry too much!!!
