A Big Wow

Sep 02, 2009

Before I had surgery I was wearing a very tight 24. I refused to buy size 26, because that would just be admitting how big I really was. Now all of my clothes are falling off my booty. For the last month I've been feeling down right frumpy when I get dressed. Yesterday, I wore my favorite pre surgery outfit to work, and my shirt looked like I was wrapped in a blanket. My pants were saggy and nasty looking. That was it! I went to the store after work to try on some clothes to see what size I really wear I was shocked when I was able to put on size 18 pants and zip them up! I tried on a size 16 shirt and it was a little big on me! I haven't been a 16 anything since 10th grade. I was afraid to try on the 14 shirts, because in my mind I kept telling myself if you buy a 14 shirt and 18 pants and take it home it's not going to fit later. I have to work on that thinking. Anyway, I brought a really nice outfit I got the size 20 pants and size 16 shirt. I know I could have gotten the size 18 pants and size 14 shirt, but it's just a bit too hard to wrap my mind around.

This weekend I'm gonna go shopping for a couple more items. I need some clothes that  fit well and make me feel good about myself, and not like a big ole frump monster. Who knows, maybe I will buy that 14.
