Shopping is fun again!
Feb 08, 2010
I have a holiday party to go to this Saturday night (I know, a little late isn't it?) and I decided I wanted something new and fun to wear. So I went shopping last Friday and how much fun is that!! I still can't get used to the fact that I can't shop at Layne Bryant anymore (which is where I ALWAYS shopped before)! I went to Express and just started picking out lots of stuff to try on. I'm still amazed I can even shop at those types of stores. The biggest surprise of the night was when I tried on a bright blue tank dress (very cute) and I had grabbed a large. Even when I was thinner I've never been smaller than a large - - the large was too big!! They grabbed me a medium and it fit perfectly! It was just soo much fun.My jeans are too big for me again, so this time I went to a used clothing store and found some really cute jeans that only cost about $12.00 a piece instead of $60+ and I'm fitting into size 9's now. I got into a weird mood Saturday and went through and tried on everything in my closet and loaded up 5 bags of clothes that are too big for me. I gave them to a friend of mine. Some things I really like and it was hard to part with, but I just have to realize that just because I like a shirt, doesn't mean I look good in it! And I'm not going to keep any of them around because I vow NEVER to go back to those sizes again! When summer comes I will have nothing to wear - oh well, that's a good excuse for shopping right? Husband can't complain because I literally have NOTHING that fits!
So things are going pretty good. I have my 9 month check-up with the nutritionist coming up - I'm sure it will be pretty routine. Going to start hitting the treadmill now, hopefully that will jump start my weight loss since I've been stuck in a rut lately.
See ya, Marion
