Before I started this journey I bought me new clothes. Some I only wore once and others I wore more. It probably wasn't the BRIGHTEST idea to buy a whole new wardrobe before I lose 90 pounds, but we learn from our mistakes, right?
Now I'm in the situation where my pants are falling off of me and I look completely ridiculous in them. But I don't have any thing else to wear, right? Well, the BEST thing about "yo yo"dieting is the wardrobe you can longer fit in because, just like all yo-yo's, your weight goes back up.
After my shower today I decided that I would look through my pants drawer to see if there were any pants in the back that I could fit into better than the ones I always wear. To my discovery, they were all too big. I then remembered the stash of pants in the drawer under our bed. In the front of my head I was thinking that they weren't going to fit me quite yet because they were all size 16 and, let's face it, I haven't worn a size 16 for 6 years. But there was also a voice in the back of my head telling me to try them on and I would be pleasantly surprised. Well, I did. I pulled out 6 pairs of pants, one of which STILL had the tags on them from when I bought them YEARS ago.
The verdict?
I am now wearing a size 16 pant.

Update
As you might of guessed, I have been struggling with posting on my blog. It isn't because I'm not having success, because I am, it's just that I am struggling to find anything to say. So, please forgive me for the "down time" between posts.
Here is an update of how I am doing. I'm currently down 46 pounds from the start and I'm feeling GREAT! I just hosted a LuLaRoe (check it out here) boutique at my house and it was a BLAST. I got me some new clothes! Here's the deal though. Every time I go shopping, I find that I am in a size smaller than I think I should be in. For instance, I got a size large shirt at a boutique just the week previous from mine and at mine I got a size medium shirt in the same style. I am now buying size large skirts, instead of extra large, and hell must have frozen over because I actually bought leggings. And they aren't the plus size. They are the "one size" leggings. NEVER in my wildest dreams would I ever think I would wear leggings let alone ONE SIZE leggings. And I now have 3 pair! Things are changing! This is a wonderful discovery! I am realizing my mind is behind where my body is. I'm still thinking extra large and plus size. Why wouldn't I? I've been in those sizes most of my life. It's interesting to me how the psyche works. I LOVE the fact that I'm losing weight faster than my mind can go. I'm having the BEST time on this journey. I wouldn't change it for the world!! And the BEST part about it is, that my family is there with me every step of the way.
