Wow... size 14

Nov 01, 2009

So yesterday (Sat 10/31) I went out in search of a pair of black pants for a seasonal help interview I have tomorrow night.

Previously in the week I had plodded my way through  a few stores.. Jones New York, Gap, and H&M.. well everything in H&M is skinny jean cut for size 0's.. so that doesn't count!  But the other stores I was in.. I grabbed 16's right off the bat and went and tried them on.. and to my amazement they were too big! Had the sales lady go get me 14's.. and OMG they fit! And with no problem! I haven't been a 14 since my sophmore year of college (1997)... so this was HUGE!!!

I ended up at Clothes Mentor because I wasn't going to spend $47 on a pair of pants that in a month or two may not fit me anymore & hoped I could find something there.. I tried on all 14's too! it wasn't just a fluke at those other stores.. I grabbed 5 pairs of 14's (3 of which I had no intention of buying but had to try on for excitement sake) and again.. ALL FIT!  And low and behold.. I found a pair Jones New York black pants almost identical to the ones I found at their store, only these were $14 instead of $47... what a steal...

YAY! I feel so good! Being in "normal" sizes again was a goal I wanted to reach...

I still can't believe I've lost 60lbs in 4 months.. I can't even wrap my brain around it!  My brain is catching up though finally.. this weekend while I was shopping I walked by a full length mirror a few times in the stores and I literally went wait, is that me? wow??!!
