Tuesday was spent with my best friend, Gail doing what we two do best….shop! We headed out to a local Outlet Mall, and after hitting the Outlet Office for coupon books, we started in Liz Claiborne. I’d been in there a month or so ago, and I had not found anything that fit me. But since then, I’ve lost more weight, and firmed up a bit, so I found quite a few items that look pretty darn good.
Now this shocked me! I mean, when I look into the mirror, I still see myself the way I did last year before I started Weight Watchers. Today I stood in front of a 3 way mirror in smaller clothes than I have worn in many years, and gazed at this person standing in front of me. Shopping was actually fun.
After dinner tonight I gave Hubby a little fashion show and I think he liked all the things that I got. One thing is for sure, I really don’t need much more in the way of clothes to wear for the summer.
The only down part of my day occurred when we came out of the grocery store and walked back to the trunk of my car and found that someone had sideswiped me! No dents, but the passenger side fender is badly scraped and will need to be repainted.
Oooooooooh, it made me so mad!
But then I came home and Hubby hugged me and I didn’t feel so bad. After all, I didn’t do it, but still it angered me that someone else did and didn’t have the ability to fess up and offer to pay for the damage they had caused.
High five about the clothes! That is sooo wonderful and I so remember after I lost a lot of weight how it felt.
Your blog hasn’t been updating on my Blogs I Enjoy thing so I redid your link and it moved upin the list. Maybe it will be easier to keep up with you now.
Wooohoo, fun shopping 🙂
That stinks about your car :-/ Stupid jerk!!
Hi Mom,
Glad you and Gail had fun shopping! I will be headed out of work early today, as I’m having my stitches removed, and then will see what the plan of action is from there…. Hope you ladies enjoy your day today!
Lots of love,
Mandy
Check with the store, there might be video camera in the parking lot and you could maybe get a license plate number.
I am glad to hear about a fun shopping day! except for your damaged car, I would be very angry too. Krush’s idea is very good.
I am back and slowly catching up 🙂
Glad you are seeing and appreciating the trimmer you that you are working so hard to achieve!
I am 4’11” and 111 lbs. When I was 15 with life events and joint prednisone/hormone therapy I shot up to 155.
By 18 1/2 I got down to 125 and stayed there-abouts into my early thirties.
I’ve stayed around 115 for the past three years but 119 years down the road I still look in the mirror and think I am huge.
You did not emotionally need my story, but this is part of why I am glad that you are able to see and appreciate your weight loss 🙂
umm, 19 years down the road (i don’t think i’m 134 yet;-)
Shopping is indeed the best way to celebrate and reward yourself of your weight loss! Well done!
