Dropping dress sizes too quickly...
I've lost a lot of body fat recently and while I like the way I look, I just got down to a size 8 when buying some new clothes today. Last year, I was a size 14 - 16, then I went traveling and got down to a size 10 - 12. I didn't start traveling to lose weight or anything, I just wanted time to figure out who I am, but…
