A WOW for me...

So I was out on my lunch with a co-worker and she wanted to go into the Gap and look around and I tagged along...it wasn't too long before I started shuffling through the racks and realized that the tops would fit me!

I bought 2 tops, size XL, on the clearance rack at the Gap! I can't believe it. I've been shopping there for years, but never for me! So exciting! Another size or two and I will be able to buy pants from there. I can't wait! Just 7 weeks ago I was in a 24 and am now in a tight 18...I have a feeling the 18's won't be tight for long!

Don't start loving shopping too much right now. Because next week those tops will be too big on you. And the rule is that if you can get on a pair of pants and zip it, then that is your size. Doesn't have to be comfortable. It moves so fast. Don't invest too much $$ buying things. We will have to thrift store shop with you. That is so much fun!

New avatar soon? I'll bring the camera with me on Saturday.

Congrats on just one of many wow's ahead of you! You ROCK!

Heidi, that's so cool! How exciting buying an XL in a "hip" store. Bet you are so glad you tagged along, huh?

Wow - that is really a big *WOW* I haven't shopped in a "regular" size store for so long. I think the last time I did it was the 5-7-9 shops, and I don't know if they even exist anymore! Good for you! Keep up the good work.
