unsubscribed

Aug 24, 2015

Today was a major milestone day. I unsubscribed from Lane Bryant. I went shopping with my daughter last week and got to the mall and had NO idea where to go or what size I was really. I knew I was able to put on my mom's old fashioned size 12s, and the pants I was wearing in my closet that were 18 and 16 literally, and I do mean literally, fell to the floor when I put them on. Lane Bryant was too big. All of it. No more 14. At least from there. So, daughter asks what was my old favorite store, then says,  "I know just where you want to go,  Mom!" We went to American Eagle, the store I always loved and pine over whenever I shop with Daughter. I held up the 14s in there and thought,  "no way, they are soooo tiny!" When I got into the fitting room, pulled on these tiny pants and buttoned them, I had a rush of emotions flood over me. Should I laugh or cry? I peeled off the first pair and tried on the others like a banshee. I couldn't believe it, so I tried them on again. And rechecked the sizes. I am excited to have new pants, and hope I get to wear the crap out of them for the winter before they are toooo big to bother. But I am also excited to lose the last 30 pounds or so (where the doctor wants me to stop). 

I wish it wasn't so hard to add photos on here, the having to resize them all from my phone is annoying. I will try to get some on here. I am 5'6" and at 191#. Desite how sizing has changed, I seem smaller at this weight than before. My body certainly is different. Can't wait to finish and maintain to get extra skin removed!
