BUT THEY ARE TOO BIG!

That was me today trying to buy running pants, they had to get a pair of x-small from another location for me. What, the what? Me? An x-small? It's ******g with my head.

That is all, carry on. Just needed to share with people who might understand just how strange that **** was to hear, and see. I love my new body, but it's still such a trip sometimes.

What a trip, eh? I can't even imagine--I passed extra-small in my early elementary school days. Post a picture of your x-small self!

HAHA, being that I could barely believe it the first thing I did was take a picture to send to a friend - here is my new winter running gear, ready for my race Sat.

Things like that happen when you lose massively - you look great!  And I totally get the size thing - I look at my pants (especially) and cannot get it in my head that I will fit in them.  It seems impossible.  But then they go right on... kind of cool actually!

I have that same mental thing, I look at stuff and think "never, ever is that going to fit" and then they end up being too big! It's awesome.

Yes, we must move in together! I so get this post!  I bought a pair of long thermal "running" pants. They're fancy ass long johns, but..... I bought the mediums because the box said that's what would fit. Nope. Needed a small. So bizarre, isn't it? I still freak that I have small anything in my closet! A year ago I was wearing XXL T shirts and now I wear Gap's size small Essential Tees.

Love the new bod, yes I do!

We should just start like a giant WLS commune, so you could just open your front door on bad days and yell "I suck at this today, anyone want to kick my ass?" And you would have four people on your porch befor you could blink, and they would instantly set you stright! A little over a year ago I was still in a 4x and size 22 pants, its beyond bizzare some days but I have to say I am enjoying the ride! Being hot and in the middle of everything suits my personality much better then being the homebody wall flower that I was when I was fat the attention is fun, but sometimes its one of those bizzare things too LOL

I thought of you when I pulled these on the other day, so I snapped a picture to share   I bought like seven more pairs b/c it is SO cold here in Jersey, and these keep me warm under my jeans (and they look really cute over my running tights and with skirts too, they basically go with everything)!

I totally, totally get the size thing.  Just imagine if one day you find yourself buying jeans in the children's department under size 12 as in twelve year old.  Yeah, welcome to my world.  It is a little crazy making but oh so fun.  Congratulations on rocking your new running pants and you look super hot in them.  You go girl!!!
