Giggling in the Fitting Room

SO there I am - finally sick of hiking my big baggy pants up and trying to keep them from falling down as I trudge around. I decide- okay it's time for new pants Off to Fashion Bug. Old ones are size 30, actually I was wearing 28's today- and still they were falling off me. I tried on 26's - too big- that's when I giggled. Got on the 24's - perfect fit- even got a couple pairs of 22/24 and they fit great. Got some nice shirts in 22/24 also Look for me to be sporting new pants and maybe one of the new tops Tuesday. I have to get rid of all my 30/32 and down to 24 now- closet clean out time. I told hubby- I will never be this size again. It feels so good. I looked in the full length mirror at the store- as I don't have one here- and for the first time can really see what is happening. I am feeling so good about what I did to put an end to the downward spiral I was on.

Somehow Bernadette... from reading your posts and replies to posts... ...that you were not just giggling... perhaps a resounding positively life affirming laugh? That sounds more like the Bernadette we all love and know! Keep up the great progress! Towanda (finally back from paradise!)

Thanks Towanda- guess my true personality is showing here huh??? Yeah I was pretty darned tickled with myself.

Hey Bern, Congratulations on the shrinking!!!!!!!!!!! I remember when that happened to me. I was in tears I was so happy. NO MORE 30-32s for me!!! I am an 18 now, have not been since highschool. Its a great feeling. Keep up the good work your on your way. Hope to see you at the gala in March. Hugs KimC
