I am the girl I used to HATE

I was out shopping for some clothes yesterday - 'cause NOTHING fits me! So here I am in a store i haven't been in, in AGES cause it's trendy, and up until a little while ago nothing would've fit me... I really have no idea what size I am these days, every store says something different - so I picked up a bunch of size 5's (thinking they would NOT fit and they would be too small - I am SOoOoOo not used to this body) I put some on, and none of them fit... so I open the door and say to the sales lady that I need a smaller size and the girl YELLS across the store, "Can I get these in a size 3/4?" OMG'osh - seriously? I used to be the girl in the change room next door to one like this PISSED and completely jealous that the size 5 didn't fit THAT girl and she needed a smaller size!

Oh what'ta Happy Day for me... I am going to post before and after pics of Saturday - it's my birthday AND exactly a year since I started taking my life back! Stay tuned ;)

    YAY! You're awesome!!

    We all try to tell ourselves it's not about a number on a scale, or the number in the tag in the back of those pants...but when you can pull on a size 3/4--whoohoo!!! take THAT girl you used to hate! :happy: :flowerforyou:

    Nice!

    (Slightly on-topic: When I slim down, I don't want to become a completely shallow (pardon the expression) d-bag that looks down on others just because they aren't in shape, etc. I want to find that balance between admitting looks matter to a degree but also recognizing the importance of treating everyone -especially overweight people w/ low self-esteem - w/ dignity.)

    I'm still not quite there yet, but I look forward to that day. I think I'll always be a fat girl at heart, though.

    Just the fact that you even considered a size five as a potential option means even the girl you used to be was the girl I used to hate. :D
