So, I finally broke down and went shopping today. I was only going to buy a few bras but ended up with this whole outfit and a few other things. I just started trying things on and couldn't stop myself. Amy, the lady at Fashion Bug that helped me, had to keep bringing me smaller sizes.
I came home wearing a pair of pants that are 4 sizes smaller than the ones I was wearing when I walked into the store. I knew they were a little too big but I guess I was in denial about how much too big.
I can't remember the last time I went shopping and left the store feeling good about my purchases. Normally, I try on everything in the store that is my size and settle for a few things that don't make me want to vomit. This time, everything I liked came in my size! I am loving it.
The last time I went shopping at fashion bug, I was wearing the biggest size pants they sold. I couldn't even buy shirts at there store because the biggest size was too tight. Now I am wearing an 18/20 in pants and that sweater is only a 3x. So very exciting. A few more sizes smaller and I won't even be plus-sized anymore. I almost can't believe it. Woot!
I think I might be starting to understand why some women LOVE to shop...
Amity,
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing - as beautiful as ever, but in a smaller package. So glad to hear that eating is getting easier. You may have already reached the 100 lb mark by the time you read this - congratulations and hugs. You are one of the most determined and persevering people I know.
Till we meet again
