Shopping

I haven't posted in a while because I have been unhappy about how my weight loss has stalled and/or slowed down over the last several months. In December I had lost about 85 lbs and was really looking forward to surpassing the 100 lb mark. It is now April and I still haven't met that goal. I've loss 97.5 lbs. Only a 12.5 lb loss in about 4 months?! I don't feel like going into the reasons why this has happended now but of coursse I've been feeling really down about my lack of weight loss. But I have had a NSV that made me feel a bit better about myself. I was at Target buying hair products when I remembered that I needed a new black shirt to wear under a cardigan that I wanted to wear out to lunch with a friend tomorrow. I went to the women's section and looked through some black shirts. I wasn't exactly sure of my size but my XXL shirts are a little loose so I got an XL shirt. The whole process took about 10 min and when I got home the shirt fit! I could have never done this a year ago before the weight loss. First, it would be rare for me to find something at a "regular" (non plus size store) so I always had to plan out any type of clothing shopping. Even if I just needed a basic t-shirt I would have to go to certain store. Also, I always had to try on every piece of clothing I bought because more likely than not I either couldn't fit the it or it was very unflattering. To be able to just walk into a store and casuallly buy a piece of clothing is a pretty big deal for me. Plus, the XXL shirt was $5 more than the XL shirt so I may no longer have to deal with the "fat surcharge".
