Shock Horror! Shopping.....

Well, I must say that since losing all my weight I have had clothing issues and I am sure I am not alone on that one. I have decided that it is time for me to make my way back into the work force and that I will proberly need a suit to go on interviews, So this morning I got up got dressed did my chores and went on a mission. (what a time of year to decided to go shopping LOL) I went into several store and looked at what they had and decided that I was not going to fit into anything and went into Macys, well... I walked around found the suits and picked up a size 14, and 12 and went and tried them on.. well that was almost laughable they were huge on me, so then I went and picked up a 10.. still too big. So I went and got a size 8 and shock horror it fit! I have not been a size 8 since I was 18 WOW! Just one more thing to make the year end well, I only have 4lbs to lose before I am officially half the weight I was when I started this journey. I am just so happy with life right now, here's hoping I can find a job now. anyway thanks for letting me rant on. Have a great Christmas everyone! xoxox Lee 304/156/145

That's wonderful! Congratulations. What a great year it has been for all of us. Good luck job hunting...you'll be great! Susan

Lee, How exciting and wonderful. Funny about picking today to go clothes shopping ... I want to go get some new shoes and was thinking about going out today and changed my mind. Doing laundry and household things instead but shopping would be fun. Good luck on your job hunt. Mary

Lee, Isn't that a fun feeling?!? Congrats to you, you have done so well. Have fun in the new suit, and best of luck finding a job. I'm kinda in the same boat. In fact, I can't even look at the clothes. I've learned to just go straight to the size I was last and take the next size down and try it on. I swear I'm not as small as the clothes! If I were to look at the clothes, it would take me 2 hours before I ended up in the right size! Have a great holiday yourself, and my best to you! Linn

Lee, Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! I too still have clothing issues. It is such a habit going to the plus size section when I got there now my friends are like you know better I am a size 14-16. I haven't been that size since high school. Happy Holidays and best of luck on your job searching. Remember to check with the temporary services and tax preparations places. They will be looking for receptionists and tax preparers soon!!! Deelainya 321/175/150

Lee, first of all, your picture is amazing. You look great. I was laughing out loud when I read your post. I always seem to pick up "too big" sizes first and then have to go back out to the sales floor to go smaller. Each time I have little conversations with myself in the dressing room about sizes and my body and shopping. I'm sure the other ladies in the neighboring dressing rooms think I'm WACK-O. I don't care. SHopping has been fun and I don't have to be depressed if I go into a mall with No Lane Bryant or Avenue or CJ Banks. It's a wonderful life. Denise - "22 hours ago I spent $200.00 on new clothes for myself at Casual Corner, ain't life grand?!

Psst: (I just spent $90 at Sears - needed new jeans - and another $90 on running clothes) Don't tell my husband, he'd have a fit! Linn

Thanks for the compliment about my pic. I love that one. yeah I managed to spend nearly $300.00 yesterday, but I got a nice suit and 3 shirts. so that should do for a start up. I kinda hope that I dont lose too much more, I am happy where I am these days. (now thats a statement I never thought I would ever say.. lol) and this Shopping thing is kinda addictive.... xoxox Lee
