TODAY!!!!!  Lots of fun stuff happened to me today- nothing that I haven't done a million times before, but it was different today.  #1.  I got a hair cut and didn't dread only seeing the fat face in the mirror instead of the cut.  The fat face wasn't there!  My face was.  #2. Ditto the above when I stopped in to pick up my new glasses.  #3.  I roamed around  the department store looking at the wonderful sales in the regular sized section, drooling over the huge discounts, and- got-my courage- up and tried some on.  THEY FIT!!! I BOUGHT THEM!!  I haven't been clothes shopping for 4 years, and then only to get whatever would fit me (4-5X's) because I had outgrown the 3X's.  Over the last year and half, I've been shopping in my closet of old clothes- was so tired of them and now the last remnants can gooooo...  I finally have some pretty new clothes to wear.  And I feel pretty.  How about that for a change.
