Happy Birthday to ME!!!!
Yes today is my birthday. 
I turned 46 but I feel about 15 years younger since I have lost over 110 pounds. My outlook on life is so much better and I feel so much better with myself. It is so great. 
So I had an unexpected NSV today. I was not really expecting a gift today since my birthday is 6 days after Christmas and I did receive a very nice expensive camera for Christmas. We did buy a new camera bag so I considered that my bday gift. My wonderful hubby surprised me this morning with a gift card to go shopping for clothes that fit me better.
So we go out this morning, and I figured I would try on a size 16 pants because the size 18's I am wearing were beginning to get a little loose on me. Well, to my much amazment, size 16 were still to big. It was suggested I try on a size 14 pants, and I was like, Okay I will try them on but I doubt if they will fit. Nope pulled them right on and they fit perfectly.
I ended up buying 3 pairs of size 14 pants. I have gone from a size 28 pants down to a size 14. Just blows my mind. 
When I walked into the store, I was immediately drawn to a pair of pants I really liked, but I could not find a size 14 anywhere. Completely new expereince NOT being to buy something because they are TOO BIG!!! I had the store clerks cheering for me after I told them how much weight I had lost and was still unsure what size I was wearing now. I also told them it was my birthday so I received an extra 10% off my purchase and I was able to get a size large top. 
It has been a great day so far, friends and family coming over a little later for dinner then we will watch the ball drop tonight.
I love my sleeve, Ana.
