so, last night during the power outage i decided to go out and run an errand instead of sitting in my hot house waiting for electricity to be restored.
after i picked up some things at home depot i started to head back home, but when i passed "ross" (dress for less!) i decided to stop in and try on some clothes to see if i've changed sizes yet. (i've lost 26 pounds so far.)
now, before starting the diet i was a size 20. when i got inside the store i pulled some size 18 pants off the rack, and --ever hopeful-- some size 16 pants as well. i even saw a cute pink skirt in size 14/16, and decided to try it on for kicks, too.
the size 18 pants fit perfectly. the size 16 pants were quite snug, but i could zip them up... barely. they weren't flattering at all, though.
and the size 14/16 skirt? i bought it and am wearing it today. ;-)
woooo!!
26 lbs? Bloody hell -- that's a lot. And, disgustingly, it makes me think of a certain Brad Pitt and Edward Norton scene.
But I digress -- congrats on the health improvement, and best long term wishes for keeping it off in a good way.

You keep it up! It's great!
I will begin again next session.
And get skinny like you!
It looks very cute. Especially with the matching pink shoes! Congratulations! Now you can buy that cute jacket from Costco...
