shameless self promotion
I realise that I haven't updated in forever. Things have been really busy and since I keep an actual paper journal, I never really want to write things twice. But today has been a very good day, and I want to share. :o)
So I am a plus sized girl. This I embrace, and since plus sizes start at size 12 and that was my size at my absolute skinniest, I am always gonna be plus sized. Yay curves. Boo plus size shopping. The woes of which are many, and most come with shipping charges because that is the only way you are going to get clothes that size. So I have been trying to get some of the excess weight off, it's been slow but I've actually been able to keep it off. But with the new job, there was the need for new clothes. Enter massive shopping spree and much online ordering. Well very little of the online clothes fit, and I went to return them tonight thinking that clothes just don't fit my body. Out of curiosity I tried on the largest size in a pair of pants, hoping to see just where they are still too small and guess how much I still needed to lose. The pants fell off in the dressing room. Didn't even need to undo them, just slide them off because they were too big to stay up. So I went a size down. And they fit!!!!! I haven't fit my ass into a pair of jeans at a non specialty store in three years. I was literally jumping up and down in the dressing room wearing my "not the biggest size made shiny new" pants. So I know this is blatent self promotion, but I don't care. I am soo happy.:o)
*does happy dance wearing cute new jeans*
....and scene :o)
