Halfway There & Still Getting Used to this New Body...(PICS)

So I went home to my parents' house (in DC) to pick up my "skinny" clothes, all sized from 10-14.  These are the smallest clothes I own.  I'm so lucky that I saved them, though, because they are fabulous!  (In fact, if you're in the NYC area and are a few sizes behind me, let me know and I'm happy to turn them over to you when the time comes...)

Anyway, my mom then took me shopping because she wanted me to have a few new outfits that are more "current" than my clothes from 3 years ago.  

She took me to Macy's JUNIORS' department (where she shops, too) and picked out all of these short dresses and tiny-looking outfits.  Each time she brought them to me, I said, "mom!  these are going to be waaaay too small!" or "that is entirely too short!" 

But then I tried them on, and they looked FABULOUS.

Got home this evening in one of my outfits from the attic (and trust me, it's nothing fabulous, just a casual skirt and babydoll shirt) and the doorman literally dropped the boxes he was holding.  He hadn't seen me in a while! 

What the heck is going on with me??? 

(Just for reference, the outfit is below...50 lbs lost, 50 + lbs to go...)
