Holy cow!!! Is that really me????

Feb 18, 2009

I had such a WOW moment this afternoon.  I just had to share this...

I'm starting school next month...and today I decided to go and pick up my uniforms...which are black scrubs.  Now I've worked in the medical field for a long time...so I'm well aware of scrub sizes.  For the last couple of years it's been nothing but XL.  Not even thinking...I automatically grab an XL and head to the dressing room.  I slip it on...and looked in the mirror.  It floated on me.  So I grab a L...same thing.  Still huge.  I grab a M...still kind of big...except in the chest area.  (I have really big boobs.)  I try the S...and it fits everywhere but the chest area.  I settled for the M because I didn't know if they would shrink or not...and I didn't want it too tight in the chest area.  But still....size MEDIUM.  I was in shock.  But not nearly as shocked as when I tried on the bottoms.  Size SMALL baby!!!  WOOHOO!!!

When I got home...as I got ready to hang them in my closet...I held the top up and thought "Can I REALLY fit in that???"  Just goes to show you...we look in the mirror and our eyes do not see what's really there.  I don't see a much smaller body.  But the clothes don't lie.  I'm shrinking...even if my brain doesn't see it yet.
