shopping was fun

[Guest guest]

Yesterday I did something I've never been able to do my entire adult

life (counting the teenage years, too!) I was able to buy clothes in

a normal store. Not Lane , Stuart, The Avenue, Added

Demensions, 's....... I heard that Dillard's had a 50% off

sale on most of their dresses. Had absolutely nothing left to wear

for church, etc. It was so amazing to walk into a store and

immediately find clothing to wear! I'm down to a size 16, down from a

26/28. One dress was even a 14. (Don't worry, I didn't buy too much,

just three outfits, I know I'll be out of them soon!)

I haven't been this size since about age 13. When I realized I COULD

wear a 16 AND looked damn good in it I just about cried. I'd gone in

wearing my now routinely baggy clothes. When the sales lady saw me in

the first outfit she said " You've got a really nice waistline! " (with

great surprise - for both of us!)

Almost every day now multiple people stop and tell me I look great. I

crack up every time someone asks if I've had to change my eating

habits too drastically. I tell them, yes, now I eat more high fat

foods than I have ever before. True, the portions are still

relatively small, but as far as fat content goes there's no

comparison.

Just gets better every day -
