First Bit of Good News
I bought new pants today. I really needed them because the two pairs I am currently wearing to work are starting to fall apart.
I was able to buy a smaller size than last time!!!!!
Back in 2009, I weighed almost 200 pounds and was in a tight size 16. At that time, I was certain I would be in a size 18 soon. Then I changed my eating habits because of my high cholesterol. Within 6 months, I was in a size 14 and 170 pounds. That's where I've been stuck since autumn of 2009 (also bouncing between 170 & 180 pounds). Now, today I tried on a size 14, and it was baggy. This has been normal for me lately, but I've always been stuck between sizes. However, this time when I decided to try on the size 12, it fit and was actually a bit loose. It's been many, many, many years since I've been in a size 12. But the most important thing is this: I actually liked what I saw when I looked in the mirror!
