Shopping
So my mom wanted to buy some new clothes for me (of course I didn't turn it down). We went to Kohl's. I was very scared I wouldn't be able to find anything that fit me or looked right on me even though I've lost 40 pounds since surgery and over 50 since last October. I've never been able to find anything at Kohl's that fit me. Ever.
Wouldn't you know I not only found 3 pair of pants that looked great but I also had to put a shirt back because it was TOO BIG!!!! I almost cried! There isn't enough money to pay for that high. I called my brother and told him, a friend of mine who took me home from the hospital and my roommate when I got home. Of course my mom just kept telling me how proud of me she was and she knew how hard I was working and it was really paying off.
I'm scared and happy all at the same time. There just aren't words for this but it's very motivational. I am just pushing through my fears, realizing I have control over what scares me and moving on. This truly is a new life and it is really amazing. Even the HR director at work said something to me today about how much I was losing. I can't wait to wear my new clothes to work (I haven't washed them yet)!
