Changing sizes

The update:  Down 1 lb to 245, I don't think I have seen this number on the scale in maybe 2-3 years.  For those keeping track, it is 17 lbs gone :)  Needless to say I am thrilled.

The blog:  I haven't had an occasion to go shopping for clothes in a while.  I got a few new things at Christmas, and my birthday back in October, but with out a reason to go get something new, I tend to save my pennies.  This coming Friday, myself and a couple of my cousins (all girls) are going to a hotel to celebrate a milestone birthday for one of us.  We thought it would be fun to have matching jammies, so I went shopping. 

Typically I would have just grabbed the 3x knowing it would fit, bought it and walked out of the store.  I just couldn't bring myself to do that this time.  Some of my 3x items had been fitting rather loose and I thought it was time to try a 2x.  I grabbed a 3x to take to the fitting room too, just in case.  I would have been fine either way, I am the size I am and I can't change it over night.  If we could do that we would all eat to our hearts content and wake up a size no bigger than 6 in the morning.  So I put the 2x on and was very pleased.  Aside from the bottoms being a little on the long side, they fit just fine, and so did the top!  I probably could have put on a 1x but wouldn't have been comfortable until I lose another 10-15 pounds.

Changing sizes is fun, when the numbers get smaller :)  Looking forward to more sizes in the future, eventually hoping to have to buy ALL NEW CLOTHES.  And for a girl that isn't a bad thing :)

The birthday girl doesn't know we are doing this, she will be thrilled and giggly.  It is fun to go back in time and act like a teenager at a slumber party, everyone should do it once in a while.
