Clothing Related NSV
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!

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!
