I am so excited I want to run down the street cheering. I finally was able to go into my favorite store in the mall and buy an outfit that fits. Actually the pants are big on me, but in the dryer they will go. I wore it on Christmas, and I will be wearing it again later today to welcome in the New Year. This is a huge accomplishment for me. My sister, who was always the "skinny one" is a much bigger size than me, and told me I needed to start dressing my age instead of making myself look foolish wearing "teenager" clothes. My friends tell me I don't look my age at all, and I should tell her to stuff it! YaHooooooooo!! My husbands friend saw me recently and said "How the hell did you get a woman that looks like her to marry a guy like you?" My husband just laughed and told him that he was just lucky. (this friend didn't know me when I was 245 lbs)
