OK, so if many of you saw my post yesterday about finally reaving a BMI of 29.9 (29.8 this morning another .6 lbs gone YAY) you know that I recently reached on of my major golas.  As a way to celebrate, and because I was down to only one pair of jeans, I went shopping.  Its actually so much fun to try on clothes now because I can finally buy mall clothes (Soon I hope to buy shirts without any X's in front of the size).

So I am shopping off of the 50% and 75% off racks in Macy's.  I find this really nice pair of calvin klein pants that actually have the words "super skinny" in the name of the pants.  Guess what?

THEY FIT!

They were only 9.99 - They have a new home now.  I have never even been able to consider buying a label like that before.  I think I must have tried on half of the mens department after that.  I was able to fit jeans from True Religion, 7 for al man kind, International Concepts, Kenneth Cole, Armani.  I could find clothes to fit me everywhere.

OF course, I couldn't afford them and wouldn't if I could - at least while I am still losing.  $169 jeans that will only last me a couple of months at most is just stupid.  At the end of the day I left with the Calvins, a pair of Kenneth Cole shorts, and a shirt.  

The shorts were cool too.  This is the first time I have worn shorts in public in maybe a decade.  Feelin good!

 Congrats!  I know how you feel.   I am thrilled to be able to shop in the plus size section of regular stores and not have to shop at the really fat girl stores.    I will be beside myself when I can shop in the regular sizes!

 I did get a couple of compliments on it in the shorts last night!  Which was nice, since I was told it usually is the first to go during weight loss, LOL.

One of my favorite NSV's ever was to get out of PLUS sizes. Weird thing is, when I was out with my sister's shopping at Macy's a few weeks ago, I found myself heading over to the plus size dept. My sisters were like WTH are you doing? Then I felt a little overwhelmed by all the clothing sections in the regular sizes for women. But it was still a great feeling.
Congratulations on your $9.99 pair of pants!
