So, something happened today that I thought was quite amazing…while at Walmart waiting on my prescription refills, I decided to try on some clothes. WELL, I thought I would be daring and try on a pair of size 8 pants…and…THEY FIT!!! I couldn’t believe it! Of course I think these were a very LARGE size 8 pants, but THEY FIT!! I was absolutely astounded! GO ME! No I didn’t buy them. I am poor! lol 

Not bad considering a little over a year ago I was a size 26!!!!!!

Awesome job.  It's so hard to get over that mental image of yourself as huge and realize that your or normal-sized, or heaven forbid - small!!  Way to go!

Yes Stan, that is so true. I can't see myself as that small. I can't even see it when I look in the mirror. Is that weird?

I still look like a fat chick.

Good for you!! Yes, Wal Mart's clothing sizes run notoriously big. I remember my excitement when I fit in a Wal Mart size 6. I was thrilled but knew it was not really a size 6 compared to other stores. But I knew I was close!! kiss
