Talking One little step on my success ladder

I'm only 25% to my goal weight but I can tell a difference in my body shape already after just 2 1/2 weeks. My husband had to go to Sears for a new tool box and afterwards we decided to do a little window shopping. I usually avoid mall stores because nothing ever fits me in the stores I like. But today I decided to just try on a few things to see how my weight loss is going. First stop was Lerner/New York & Co. I like this store because they do offer sizes in 14 & 16. Today I tried on a pair of slim fit/ low rise denim capri pants. I picked up my usual size 14 and just for fun a pair of size 12. Let's just say I didn't even bother with the size 14. I haven't worn a size 12 since I got married and they fit...a little snug...but they fit. Looked in Wet Seal, Rave, and other hoity toity junior stores. Not quite there yet, but soon...very soon. Well, to be honest I have underwear with more coverage than some of the shorts they had in Wet Seal. Next stop, The Limited. I'm going to be looking for a job soon so I need a whole new dressy wardrobe. I've been a body piercer for the past 2 years and jeans and tshirts just don't cut it in the regular work world. So I tried on a pair of black dressy pants...in a size 10!! They were a bit snug in the waist and the camel toe wasn't very appealing but give it a little time and I'll be in them.
Well, I know it's not too big of a success story but I am just so excited I had to share.
