Shopping

Jan 02, 2009

I went out today because I have 2 sweaters, 2 pair of jeans, 2 sets of long underwear and 4 tops that make up the total of my wardrobe now.   I didn't believe it a few weeks ago when I bought the Ann Taylor size 12 jeans but it's true folks I am truly a size 12.  I know that doesn't mean alot to some of you but I haven't been smaller than a size 12 since high school.  Well I made it to size 8 when I was 21 for about 10 minutes so that doesn't count.  But a 12 feels "normal" to me, I am so happy here at a size 12.  You don't hear me whining about a weight loss stall or crying about when am I going to get to goal because, this feels really good. 

Honestly, I have enjoyed most every moment of this journey - well except for my limited wardrobe.  I got a few nice tops on sale at Chico's where I am a size 2 - crazy - I had to ask for help in there so I could look around.  I even bought some new underwear and new bras today too.  I went from a 42DDD to a 38DDD.  The girls seem to want to hang around, I mean that literally, hang around...  But seriously, panties - how in the world was I supposed to figure out what size underwear to buy?  I just got large size  7s, who new buying underwear would be a mystery to unravel?

The spring lines are out and this year I am not afraid.  As a fat girl in disguise this year, I am not worried about putting away the layers and showing some skin this year.  No bikinis though, public safety comes to mind.

I am grateful for my DS and this second chance at life it has given me.
