I am pleased to say that my oldest daughter came to visit and she's finally clearing out all of the random stuff she left behind, including old clothes. She's gained a bit of weight, however, so a lot of her old clothes no longer fit her, so she started a pile of clothing she's saving for me.
The shocker came in this morning when I tried on a pair of her old jeans. I was reasonably sure I'd not be able to squeeze myself into them but much to my surprise, they slipped right on, zipped without a struggle and the button was done up with ease! This is the first time I've worn pants without an elastic waist for about ten years!
I now have a pile of pants and casual tops (t shirts and such) that make me look relatively normal - I no longer have to resort to wearing stuff that's several sizes too big! The jeans I'm wearing are a size 20 - how is that even possible?!?! They must be cut BIG for the size! Still bigger than I want but soooo close to "normal" sizes that it pleases me no end... and it's MUCH smaller than the 30s or 32s I was wearing just last spring.
I spent all morning trying on clothes and looking in the mirror. STARING into the mirror because I look so different that even *I* can notice it. I feel really good about myself and my progress. I look fat still of course, but a more normal degree of fat instead of "OMG mommy look at the fat lady" kind of fat. The circus will be glad to get their tents back I'm sure
On another note, my arms are starting to deflate rapidly. I can see where a big area that was formerly all puffed out with fat has gone concave and I'm starting to develop those lovely batwings LOL My inner thighs are also starting to look really weird because of the fat going away. I'm starting to be a big glorious mess and I'm totally pleased!
And to think I've really only just begun...
