I Love Clothing Again

So I wasn't not feeling 100% last weekend and ended up opting out of a family gathering. That part sucked because I missed a tea party - a real grown people tea party. But the flip side is I made a wonderful discovery. I was going to wear a skirt or something just to look nice. So I went to bowels of my back closet were I hide all of my special occasion and impractical for work wear and pulled out a skirt I had not worn in a year or two. AND IT FIT! I actually had some room around my waist. How cool is that. So of course I pulled out another skirt I hadn't worn in eons - and it fit loosely. I could even slide out of one skirt without having to unbutton it, and no it does not have an elastic waistband. So yesterday, a little birdy told me to try on some of the button up shirts I had been avoiding all season. And they fit, and fit well. No need for double sided fabric tape to keep the buttons from popping (except at my bust line), no marks on my arms from were the sleeves were digging it. This rocks. I cant wait to get a new wardrobe. I think I will start buying new winter stuff in Sept and I will hold off on new summer stuff until next year when I am hopefully at my ultimate goal. Even my husband noticed my things were fitting better. He keeps hugging me and feeling my sides - looking for the rest of me that is no longer there. Add all this to a new short haircut (that was 5 pounds lost from hair alone, ha ha ) and I feel like a new person. And this is only 20 pounds later. Watch out world when I reach my goal.
