pstlyfdiva's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh what a beautiful morning... I just had the best shopping experience in years! My 10 (OK, 11, but who can count?) year high school reunion is coming up next weekend and of course I must look fierce and fabulous. Last night I went to my normal favorite store…apparently they missed the memo on me needing something amazing and all they had was “I am mid-level clerical” clothes – what happened to my trendy jeans and my sleek tops? Where were the skinny black pants and special blouses? Then I hit my usual two backup stores, apparently this is the season of ugly. I am all about vintage looking blouses, but not for this and not when they look like they cost $1.50 to make. Hello people, I must look successful and hip! When we got home I was bummed. I was mad at myself for “only” losing 16 ½ lbs since mid-January. I was mad that I hadn’t started looking earlier. I was mad at the stores for carrying such crapolla. All in all, I was just mad. This morning I stepped on the scale. Another pound and a half lost! 18 lbs! Woo Hoo! Then I slipped on a pair of my skinny black capris, the ones that were tight even when I bought them a couple of summers ago…they fit! They didn’t hug anywhere they shouldn’t or anything. What to wear on top? I couldn’t find anything in my closet that I liked, so I raided C’s clothes…there it was, a simple fitted black t-shirt, the kind that this time last year I never would have worn, because my stomach would have looked like it was in competition with my chest. I slipped it on – it fit too! This was going great. I looked in the mirror, I was happy. Today was going to be better than yesterday, I just could feel it. Later on at work, I was walking down the hall and a woman said, “PstLyfDiva, how much weight have you lost?!” Then another woman joined in, “You look so thin!” Wow, I don’t remember the last time someone said that to me. (Don’t get me wrong, I still have easily 30lbs left to go, but wow.) Boosted by my skinny-day, I headed to TJ Maxx (hey, don’t knock it, I love a bargain). I tried on some super cute, trendy jeans there a couple of weeks ago that were way, way too small, but I saw them on the rack and thought, “well, I have lost more weight, let’s try it.” So I did. THEY WERE TOO BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to go down a size, which means I have lost TWO whole pant sizes. Go me! Go me! Go go go me! So of course I had to buy two pair. Fierce jeans, fabulous shoes…now what on top?! 12:59 p.m. - 2006-04-14 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
