Oh Happy Day!
So, my coworker has been RAGGING me constantly to go shopping and get some "clothes that fit". I've been putting it off for some time now. I think part of me was afraid of going to the store because I've been wearing elastic banded pants for years and don't know my true size. The other part of me was afraid that I would get to the store, think I'm an 18 and find out I'm a 24. It's just been something that I've been dreading.
Well, today something got in me and I decided to give it a go. I didn't want to venture any farther than the Avenue because of my not knowing my size. I'd hate to go to a store and find they have nothing that fits me. So, to the Avenue I went and here are the results:
1. I'm VERY comfortable in a size 18 shirt. I used to wear a 26/28 and sometimes even a 30/32 depending on the shirt.
2. I'm a little snug in a size 18 jean, but size 20 is a little too loose. I used to wear a 26/28 pant.
3. I've not worn jeans in years (as I stated, I've stuck with elastic banded pants) and I was able to button up the 18's and zip them!
I'm so glad I went. I now know where my progress has lead me and I love it! Right now I'm wearing a pair of jeans....real jeans, not jeggings....and it feels GOOD!!!

Ahhhh I feel a new addiction coming. Remember its okay to try it on, snap a pic with your cell phone and put it back. Really seriously, you don't need everything that fits. I am only saying this as someone who went mad for clothes, wait until you get closer to goal to go crazy. Now just buy a few things and try on others and snap away. It's fun!
Congrats!
Congrats!
