If looks could kill!... Size 14 all the way!
Alright, so I know I have been losing inches, and my clothes is falling off, but there is no cash for clothes, and why should I spend cash I don't have on clothes that I know WON'T fit in two months or less.
However, my neighbor asked for some help this weekend and while we were out, we ran into a local mall. Of course, we walked by my store, what I call the "Fat Lady store" it's where I have shopped for clothes for the last 3 years straight - Lane Bryant. I said, let's see if I can find a shirt or two, noticing the 40% EVERYTHING sale. Long story short, I found 2 shirts and 2 new bra's so the falling off bra problem from August will once again be delayed.
Now for the best part, I was in the fitting room trying on dress pants.... there were 3 very large women shopping together 2 in the fitting room obviously sisters and then Mom in the comfy chair waiting outside. So I come out in a pair of dress pants asking my friend and the sales associate, are these too short? They answer yes, and we look at the size, a Petite size 16. Well, of course it was a problem, petite I NEVER have been. So they bring me others to try on. I come out wearing a 14 with an ear to ear smile.... and glowing! I slapped my own ass as I emerged.... knowing the success I have created for myself. As my friend erupts with excitement, from having seen the changes in me first hand, I get the most evil GLARES from the 3 large women. Well, they could obviously hear what size I was in and at one point I said something along the lines of, DAMN, I am going to shrink myself right out of this store! Once again, if looks could kill, then as we moved onto tops, I had to go down to the 14's as well. And again there was a comment of this is the smallest we have. Well, I guess all I can say is thank goodness I was in a public place, or else I think these 2 sisters would have tried to take me down and out. Then again, no need for concern, I am 4x stronger than both of them combined - literally! :)
So as I would reflect in the mirrors outside of the dressing room with each change and see the looks that could have killed me, instead I thought to myself, GREAT JOB! I bust my ASS 6-7 days a week and now I am the one being ENVIED. If they only knew..... and talk about feeling good!!
Now I fully realize that not many people would celebrate a size 14, however, it's been over 6 years if not 10 since I have fit into a 14.
Yeah baby.... I have done it, I am on the new life path and I'm not going back.
