WOW! All of a sudden my clothes are huge

How did this happen? Last week I was wearing clothes that I knew were getting a little loose. The dresses didn't seem to hang right, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. They're relatively new, so I thought I ordered the wrong size and berated myself a bit for that. The exercise pants were more comfortable than they had been, but I assumed they must be stretching. They never were clingy. Then, all of a sudden ...

I put on one of my ironed shirts to go somewhere where looking decent and it was so big, I couldn't wear it in public. The sleeves were as huge on me as the shirt was too big around me. The shoulder seams hung a full two inches below my shoulders and the neck was so large, it wouldn't stay in place. I looked ridiculous. I looked even more rediculous when I put on my best jeans (stretch jeans with elastic waste). They hardly stay up and they look as funny as the shirt on me. How HUGE my legs must have been! How HUGE "I" must have been!!!!!

I should have known this might happen. Last night, as I was lying in bed watching TV, I casually put my hand on my belly. Startled, I realized that I felt something strange. My belly was uneven. I felt around in an attempt to find out what was wrong with me. Then I realized: Under several inches of remaining fat were RIB BONES!!!!! I'd forgotten that I SHOULD be able to feel them. And this afternoon, when I went to measure my waist, I discovered that I actually knew where my waist was. (I'd lost it at some unknown point in the past)

It feels like it just happened - like magic. I'm so stunned, I'm not sure what to think. As I have no one to share this with, I thought I would share it with you.
