So today I went shopping with my Aunt (Godmother) and my oldest son. I've been doing alot of shopping at the Goodwill store near me. I find it's alot cheaper then buying brand new clothes all of the time. Anyway they have some really good, brand name clothes in the store. I found myself a pair of jeans that sell at Macy's. But the great part of it all is they were a SIZE 12!!! I was so happy that they fit me. I can't remember the last time I was able to wear a size 12. And then we went to TJMaxx and I bought this really nice looking, short sleeve green sweater that is gathered at the sides. So when I put it on it makes me look really skinny. I will have to take a picture and post it. This is so fun buying skinny clothes. Oh yeah and I'm down another 2lbs. So that leave 8lbs to go until goal!!!! I should definately reach that before my Bandiversary on Oct. 23. Wow can't beleive it's been almost a year already.
I was going through my closet tonight cleaning out some clothes that have gotten to big for me (Size 16) and I pulled out my size 26 jeans that I started with. 3 weeks ago both my youngest son and I could fit in the pants together. Hahah. I will also have to take a picture of that and post it. That's my souvenir of my heavier days. I kept one pair of 'FAT' pants to remind me of what I used to look like so I will NEVER go back there again.
Now I know my mom will be reading this so it's not to make her feel bad but, instead of her giving me her clothes now, I am giving her a bag of my clothes that I just cleared out of my closet. For the first time in MANY years I am smaller than my mom. But only by a size. She will catch up with me in no time. YOU GO MOM!!!
