On saturday 11/07/09 I went to JC Pennys to get my hair done, while waiting for my daughter to get her hair done, i went and looked at clothes- my pants were seriously too big. I tried on a pair of size 12 and 14 jeans- the 14's fit, but cost more than what I was willing to pay. On Sunday, my daughter took me shopping for new clothes, usually we go to the Thrift stores, as I dont want to be spending too much on new clothes while still losing weight, This time we went to Kohls ( a department store) and went thru the clearance rack) My daughter keep telling me that I needed to drop a size, as size 14 is just too popular a size, nothing of that size usually makes the clearance rack. Well she found two pairs of jeans one in a size 12 and one in a size 14 and told me to go try them on.
I went into the dressing room and with some trepidation decided I would try the 12's first. I started to put the pants on , and too my surprize the pants went all the way on and I was even able to snap and zip them AND breathe, and sit down in them. I went out to show my daughter- she said they looked good and then looked at them again and asked me which ones they were- I did a dance in the dressing room as i told her they are the size 12's.
Whats even better is that I had been holding up size 14's and kept thinking that they looked big- Now for someone that has not been in a size that started with a one in a very long time- 27+ years, I thought it was funny that I would think that they looked big.
I finally even broke down and purchased new underware, the ones I had were from when I was 75 pounds heavier- they just werent working any more. It feels so good to have new clothes that fit. My daughter also stated if I got new underware that I could not get any "granny Panties" so the ones i have are even cute- its been way to long since i had cute panties.
Ok , sorry that last bit may have been TMI- but it is such a great feeling. I didnt know I could feel so good about my self and my apperance.
This weekend was great, new hair cut, new clothes and hubby took me out to dinner. Gotta love it.
Thanks for listening.
