Bummer...I had to go shopping again for another new pair of pants. Just went a couple of weeks ago and purchased a pair of size 18's (Could not fit into the 16's). Well now the new pants are way too big already. I can slide them off without unbuckling them!! Woo Hoo!!!So today I went to the store, blew right in, grabbed a pair of size 16's right off the rack, put them on and they fit - GREAT!!! Then I found this great black sweater, sized 14-16. It's form fitting and looks wonderful! I actually have curves!!! In all the "RIGHT" places!!!
What a great place to be for Christmas Day!! I have not been this weight for years!! Finally I think I can allow pictures taken of me without running from the room. Can't wait for the family to see me in my new outfit!!!

oh I am so proud of you. You keep going girl. I have been "shopping" at the thrift stores because of the size changing. Jim bought me two pretty sweatshirts type things for Chrismtas. One is a 14/16 the other 16/18....it has been 20 years since I wore these sizes. In April I am going to go real clothes shopping, for my birthday and anniversary. By then I hope I'll be where I plan to be and stay.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a blessed evening.
