I was looking forward to time to myself today. After lunch with the family, I stopped at the gas station and got a Diet Dr. Pepper. Such a treat! I drove to Old Navy because I had $50 in rewards to spend there (since the GAP closed). It was so fun to go on a shopping spree and try on clothes. I was grabbing two sizes, not sure what size I would fit in. I don't mean to sound dramatic, (although it kind of is a dramatic change to lose 50 pounds), but when I was in the changing room, I got a little teary eyed. Things were fitting. I had choices. I felt good about myself. I did a dance in front of the mirror! Some of you will never fully understand because you have never been there- that spot where nothing fits or looks good, where your confidence is non-existent and you hate shopping. Before, I couldn't fit in the clothes I wanted to in stores. I had to shop in the big girl section or at Lane Bryant. Now, I can shop anywhere! It hit me all of a sudden in that fitting room. Now, I know that this dress isn't the most flattering, but it is so comfortable that I really don't care. I took this pic because for the first time in such a long time, everything fit and I felt good in everything!
