The Moment

OK, never posted anything here, never thought I would, never say never. I am down 80 lbs and broke down and went to Catherine's (loved their fit and quality) Plus size clothing store to get a couple of pants as I was down to 2 pair. Anyhow I bought them and after that realized I might not be able to go back to the store again to shop (online maybe but like to try on before I buy) as the lowest size they carried in the store (with any real variety) was 16 and I was on my way past that (they fit but going to be big in about a month). It is beginning to hit me now that I am smaller than I used to be.

    well done! I'm also finding it hard to get it into my head that I'm not smaller too and keep walking past shops that I could never shop in before. Are you also finding that now you aren't restricted to just buying what fits that you don't really know what you like?

    I wonder when our brains will catch up with our bodies??

    Keep up the great work :-)

    Congratulations, I know that is a good feeling. My daughter is making me buy size Medium in shirts now, I've been getting Large and they are too big and my jeans are continuing to get bigger too, it is frustrated to buy something new and in a month it's too big but it is also so AWESOME! Enjoy it is only getting better, it is so worth it!
