Congratulations on your success! What a nice thing to do with all the clothes you no longer need.
Clothes size is just a figmant of some designer's immagination. When I was in high school, taking karate three times a week and cutting grass, I weighed 135 pounds. I'm 5'5. This was before kids. I still wore a size 12, because my hips have always been larger than the rest of me. When I was 150 after doing Atkins, I was wearing a size 4 in some dresses. Now why is it a 12 at 135 and a 4 at 150???
The other day when I had my daughter at the doctor for her "obesity" checkup, the doctor asked me what I did diet wise to stay so slim, he said I look great and should get her to do what I do. Slim?????!!!!!???? I weigh 200 pounds!! But, I'm happy and I carry myself well, I am concous of good posture and walk softly.
So, all in all, it's more about how you feel, not what "size" someone else says you are. I agree with you!
Enjoy your vacation and grandbaby!
