At the end of last summer, I ended up having to strip a lot of my lighter shirts out of the wardrobe due to fit. This pretty much left me with novelty t-shirts for lighter wear and 2 shirts that were suitable for wearing in a situation where I needed something nice. I didn't really think much of it yesterday until we were going to a good restaurant for lunch and walking into the closet left me at a loss as to what to wear. I rectified the situation with a bit of shopping and for the first time in... well, *ever*, I did it without looking at tags. Those of you who know me well know my reluctance to pay full price for anything I get for myself.  I did offset that a little by going to Century 21 for part of my shopping because I'm still not going to pay full price for Tahari t-shirts.;)

Pulled out all size 8 pants for the closet. I'm pretending that the 6s aren't falling off me in order to get a little more time, but the fact of the matter is that I'm fairly firmly a 4 now. In some cases, I'm getting that telltale gap in the back that says I may need to think about 2s. I gotta tell ya, that's not something this former size 22/24 ever thought would happen. My thought when I started was that if I got to a 10 I'd be happy. My body says otherwise and since I'm not starving or depriving myself, I'm of the opinion that it's not an excessive loss. And let's face it... a 2 now is not the 2 of a decade ago. 

Had a retailer send me double of something I ordered and when I told them about it, they were shocked I was honest. It's kind of sad that people don't expect that from people. 

Well that was inane. Ah well.

So wonderful about the weight loss. If your ribcage is prominent and your pelvis sticks out its too much. But I'm happy for you as long as you are healthy☺ New clothes--YEA.

Still not looking at all bony and at this point I'm still a DD so I have body fat, without a doubt.:) I definitely don't want to get to the point of being overly thin because I don't think that's any better for me.

Really at this point, I think the size changes more are of a toning sort. Losing that much weight after being so heavy as long as I was means part of what I have to contend with is skin issues and ever since I added yoga, I've been seeing some *really* big changes.
