Hey hey hey, got your attention didn't I? I just wanted to share my awesome day! The day started out with me mailing boxes of clothes to Melissa Morris (I hope you like them!), then I ran to Fashion Bug to return some clothes that were *cough* too big and I bought them awhile ago- luckily I had my receipt! After FB, I had lunch with my buddy Michelle and she loved my hair cut (haven't seen her since before the chopping) She said she was quite jealous of me, this coming from the girl in the size 6 jeans! LOL! After lunch I ran to the college to pay off my tuition so I could get my official transcripts sent to Modesto Junior College so I can attend in the Fall. Then off to Lane Bryant to return a pair of pants I got a while ago to work out in and never used them. While there I was going to get a pair of work pants since the 24s I have now were getting big. So... I tried on some 22s... they fit. But wait, they were a tad baggy still, so I tried the 22 petites.... still pretty weird looking. Did I want to spend this money and then have to get another pair in a few weeks? Can the 24s work a bit more??? In addition to the work pants, I tried on some jeans- yea jeans. The 22s fit too! Thats odd! LOL! So I told myself lets try the 20s, I wanna see how much more time I need to get in them. So I go out and get a couple pairs of black pants, a pair of jeans and a pair of pedal pushers in size 20- all different material blends. The work pants first... 1st pair, ewww, too long in the leg and nasty waist band! The second pair- perfection!!!!!! The I tried on the jeans- size 20 Average Bootcut Stretch- they fit!!!! And I looked pretty good, will be a bit more time before I feel comfy in them though lol, but they fit and buttoned and zipped! Then I tried on the pedals. OH MY GOSH! Heaven! Like Cathy, my bum was showing! I have never worn such curve enhancing pants in my life lol! Where was that bum all along? LOL! The awesome part- all of 'em were in size 20- TWENTY! Then I tried on some shirts, I need some t-shirt like items. The 22/24 looked alright and I thought everything was cool, but thought... why not try the 18/20? What could hurt? Well I try them on and whoooo hooo, they fit!!!!! I was a bit self conscious about my bulging tummy, but gosh darn it I was wearing an 18/20 and it was covering the bulge and I looked ok! Now my confession lol. Prior to today I was in the shopping mood and racked up Two Real Women Dollars ( You spend 50 bucks, you can save 25 when they are redeemable- usually in a month or so) So I had the two of them... equaling 50 bucks! SOOOO... I bought the jeans, the work pants, the cropped pants, two tank tops (yes tank tops), and 1 t-shirt all for $56.00! THEN I got a 15 dollar gift check last week and you get 15 off anything over 15... well they had the most adorable purse and it was 30 bucks. Normally i wouldn't buy it, that's pretty high when I can get it for half at Wal MArt lol... well the 15 bucks off made it 16 including tax. HOW EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok... more exciting news. I got another job!!!!! I am now working for Little Ceasars Pizza and my first day is TOMORROW (Wednesday)!!!! Whooo hooooooo! Pizza, Pizza baby! Alrighty peeps, Have a great Night!

Sounds like you had a great day. It's a lot more fun to shop for clothes and know you're more fashionable and feel good about yourself. I bought a white tiered skirt and black shirt w/ silver beading to wear Friday to our school employee awards ( I get my 25 years in education award). I'll also wear it Monday when we board the ship for our bariatric cruise. That way I'll be dressed for dinner already! By the way, the skirt was an 18/20. I also bought a 2nd bathing suit for the cruise, and the only one with a skirt was a 2 piece. I looks okay, bathing suits aren't very forgiving, though. Karla 337/260/150

Congratulations, Jaci! I know the feeling. I went shopping a couple of weeks ago and bought size 18 pants and was feeling pretty happy. I found a lot of nice clothes at Ross for really low prices. It was terrific! And I don't even like to shop! Keep up the good work! Diana
