When Shopping Becomes Fun Again

I went to the store on my lunch break today.  Normally, I like to just window shop, because being overweight can make it hard to find clothes, in none plus size stores.  Today I stopped by Ross, since it’s close to work, and decided to try on some transition slacks.  I grabbed a couple of sizes 18 and 20, of the same brand, and tried them all on.  To my surprise, they all fit!  One size 20 was actually too loose.  I also found a couple shirts in the same style but different colors.  Very affordable, I spent less on 4 items than I would have on one item at Lane Bryant or Torrid.

What also spurred this decision to go shopping, was that this past weekend, as I was packing to move, I tried on all of my  old size 20’s, which I still had saved for when I lost weight again.  They all fit, and only 2 of the 6 did not feel comfortable enough to sit in, and happened to be the least elastic of them.  I was ecstatic! To have this proof that my hard work is paying off, makes it all worth it.  To know that these clothes haven’t fit in almost 2 years, and then putting them on and zipping them up without struggle is an amazing feeling.


Now, to keep it up and get into these other, nice gentler used, size 18 jeans.
