The other day I put on a pair of pants that I used to wear to work regularly but had stopped wearing because they were a bit too tight. I thought I would try them because the rest of my pants were way too big. I put them on and did them up and they were so big that I could pull them off without undoing them! The same is true for some of my shirts that were too tight, and are now way too big. Such a good feeling!
But now it takes me much longer to get ready, unless I can wear sweat pants. So I went to the second hand store to get a couple of things to tide me over until I have to buy an entirely new wardrobe. I noticed that I am not quite there yet. I am in the middle, between the fat clothes and the skinny clothes. The regular size large doesn't quite fit comfortably and the XL is way too big.
But, this time I did something that I have never done before. I bought something that I really loved that was too small in the anticipation of me fitting into it. I really loved it and since it was from the second hand store, it was only $7 so I thought, go for it! Now I have a clothing goal to aim for! I can't wait to be able to get all those cute things that you can never find in an XL or somehow just don't look nearly as good on you as they do on the display.
Yay, such a good problem to have!!!
