Clothes chuckle

By Friday I had run out of clothes to wear to work that were already ironed, so grabbed a pair of trousers (pants) out of the ironing basket. I put them on and was disappointed as they were a bit tight and I thought, oh no I'm gaining Mid morning at work I went to the rest room. On pulling my trousers back up I noticed the size label and just had to chuckle - they were a pair that my friend had given me and I had washed them but hadn't bothered ironing them yet as they were far too small when she gave them to me. THEY FIT ME.......and I didnt' even realise it I had my own mini dance right there in the rest room They are size UK 14 (US12) WOW And then yesterday I went to the store and as the clothes I was trying on didnt' fit right went on to try a top that someone had left in the changing room - size UK16 (US14). Great - this is the first time I've been in these sizes. Yes I bought the top and hubbie was very approving as it showed off my 'girls' to great advantage hee hee. OK so the pants are still a bit tight, but are wearable and the top - well let's just say I darent' wear it without my hold it all in magic thingy otherwise all the saggy bits show. BUT WHO CARES? And it has just shown me that I should totally ignore the scales that say I've stayed the same for I don't know how long. My clothes are getting smaller - therefore I am getting smaller. Thanks for letting me ramble on.

That is so cool. I notice even though I may not always be loosing weight I am loosing inches. Over the past few months I have only lost 4 pounds but I have gone down a few sizes. Keeps me looking at the prize at the end.. I'm so happy for you Ruth.
