Clothing NSV -- blew my mind.

 So, when we started this journey, we all had these shirts or pants we wanted to fit into, am I right? 

I had this adorable ruffly top from Kohl's that looked painful for me to wear. It was an XL and I bought it because it was like $8 and I knew one day I'd be able to wear it. 

Well, I have been wearing it quite comfortably. Until yesterday.

Yesterday, I am getting ready for a birthday party for my son's friend and I put that adorable shirt on and it's too big! Like there is no hiding how big this shirt is. I contemplated trying to put a tank top on under it but then I said you know what? This is a great thing and found a different shirt to wear. Which, by the way, is becoming increasingly more difficult. 

I realized I have zero winter clothes I will be able to fit into. Guess that's not too bad because Florida doesn't get all that cold but still. That's a lot of shopping in my future!

This is an amazing process. Tough, but amazing. 

Keep your heads up, everyone!

Amazing!

I have to get a new fall/winter wardrobe because nothing fits.
I hit goal in Feb but I am now 25 pounds lighter so I have to go shopping!

Yep... If you're anything like me, Goodwill is going to become a great friend soon I'm thinking I can make it another week or two before I have to go shopping again, because my size 12 jeans are really loose and I'm almost comfortable in my size 8's that I bought over the summer for the same reason that you bought that top. Looks like, in jeans at least, I'm gonna skip right over a ten!

I too have no real winter clothes at the moment. I bought several dresses to start the school year, figuring those would be most forgiving of my weight change... but as winter gets closer, I'll either need dresses that look good with leggings or more pants. Hmm...

But I digress. Congrats, and have fun shopping!
