GB has been the most FANTASTIC trip. Please - if you are considering this seriously, read, read and read! This is amazing! I'm so amazed at everything when I think back to how quickly this has occured for me - this transformation. This week my Mom and I went shopping. She wanted to buy me some clothes for Christmas and so I got to spend the $$. I tried to get clothes on the smaller side so that of course, in a month they'll still fit me. Let me say that at this point, I'm just falling out of my clothes. I went through my Winter clothes and they look ridiculous on me - I don't think I'll be able to wear them at all. It'll be a cold winter of wearing layers I think so that I don't have to constantly buy new clothes. I'll probably wear my fall clothes with a sweater!
The pants that I bought for the first week of school (September) are now really baggy on me in the tummy area. I've had coworkers say that I really need new pants!
Shopping with my Mom, I still admit I kept reaching for the 4X and 5X items purely out of habit! It was hard to get myself out of that habit. And then I'd hold up things thinking they wouldn't be able to fit me -- and they'd be TOO BIG! It's so weird - these feelings of not being the "fattest girl". I ended up buying pants and tops in X. Yes - X. Not 1X, not 2X, not 3X, not 4X and definitely not 5X....but X (or their 16). Pretty soon I'll be shoppign somewhere other than Penningtons! (And that is okay with me!). I am now in XXL at Old Navy too - first time I can fit into their shirts!
