Puzzled by size

May 21, 2011

I have lost 47 lbs.  I thought I would be digging thru my old clothes trying to find something to wear, but that is not the case.  In fact, I can still wear the size 24s. Of course they are a little loose and some are even down right baggy, but they are far from falling off me.  This leads me to wonder how in the heck was I stuffing an extra 47 lbs into the clothes I am still wearing?  Is there that much leeway in the plus size clothing?  Or maybe in my head, I still need the size 24s, when in reality, I should be putting them in the yard sale box and moving in to the smaller sizes.  Maybe I am afraid to let the 24s go?  Perhaps they are my security, my shield that kept the world from seeing the real me?  I knew this journey was going to be tough but I never realized that by losing pounds, I would be gaining insight.  Time to say good bye to 24s.
