First For Me
I know I havn't posted much lately. Just got back from a business related trip. I haven't weighed myself lately because I thought I hadn't been doing that great. Tonight I tried on a winter jacket at wally world. The large was way too big. The medium was a bit big....OMG, would the SMALL fit me? YES. I've never ever fit into a small. From my experience, jackets tend to be cut a bit different from shirts, but nonetheless, the small fit. I am also wearing a medium leather jacket these days.
The jacket was only fifteen bucks so I bought it. It's very comfortable. My large from last winter is way too big.
But herein lies the mystery. I don't feel small. I still feel like I'm 300 lbs. My gut is a mess of extra skin....I think that's what bothers me the most and makes STILL feel like I'm failing. It's moments like this, at wallyworld that inch me along into something else to believe. I bought a costume for halloween for the first time in decades. Gonna hit an Irish Pub dressed like dracula and listen to Irish music whilst sipping bloody marys...what a ride.

Great WOW moment. Thanks for sharing. Nice to fit into sizes we didn't think we could.
