I actually smiled in the dressing room today!

No shit! Although I have now lost 25 lbs., I have still been wearing a lot of my clothes that I wore, 25 and even 35 lbs ago. Crazy, right? I asked Steve why he didn't tell me I looked like an Italian sausage in some of the capris. Anyway, most were a size 16 and they start out ok from the dryer but get huge very quickly. Like most of you, I don't have a ton of extra money to go out and buy temporary sizes while I am losing weight. I've been making due.

Today I decided that I wanted to buy two new pairs of Capris and a few tops. I went to the store, picked up three pairs of 14's and two looked great, the third were too big! They were on sale too so that made it that much better! I then bought three tops in a size medium! Holy, schmoly! I used to buy X=Lg because of my big hips and butt but the medium fits great! I cannot remember the last time I was happy walking out of the dressing room in a store.

Moments like this make it all worthwhile, especially when the scale is being such a putz!
