I Can't Believe It Fit!

So there's been a dress I've been eyeing at Target for the last couple of weeks. It's such a cute little dress, but I never thought it would fit me or look good on me for that matter (Target clothes run small so the clothes there rarely do fit right...even the XXL!). I decided, what the heck, I'm gonna try the dress on. I take the dress to the dressing room (size XL), get my number from the lady at the counter and as I'm choosing which room I want to experience this emotional circus in, I am filled with anxiety because I really like the dress, but I'm sure that the dress will not fit and, again, I will be leaving another dressing room depressed. I took the dress off the hanger and put it on. I could not believe it! Not only did the dress fit, but it was too big! No lie...I jumped up and down in the big dress inside the dressing room and covered my mouth so I wouldn't scare the bajeezies out of the lady in the room next to me. Needless to say, I threw my clothes back on, ran out and exclaimed to the lady at the counter, "I need a smaller size!" She giggled at me and said, "I like that attitude! Go girl!" I ran to the rack, got a "Large" (What, I don't wear Large!?!) I put the dress on. I-looked-guuuud!!! :) I bought the dress and plan on wearing it this weekend. I've been working so hard to lose the weight and I'm seeing the results. The pounds aren't disappearing as quickly as I'd like, but the inches definitely are and I'm loving this success!
