I figured it out...kinda.

I spent time going through my clothes this weekend which included me trying on multiple pieces. I even had a soundboard!! He was a great help! I'm still not sure if it is a good thing for me to take the opinions of Tyson, but they worked pretty well in my favor, so I let the momentum take me where it wanted.

I found that many articles of clothing were WAY too big. Tyson confirmed all of those, as well. He gasped and had a pleasant look in his face when he saw a specific pair of khakis on me and exclaimed, "boofull, mommy!" I kept those khakis.

I posted before that the last time I did this, with every ten pounds lost meant a pant size down as well. To reiterate, this has not been the case. Well, I found a pair of jeans in my closet...if you want to call it a closet, that is because it is really the laundry room since the closets in our house are small and all are occupied...anyhoo, the pants I found didn't have a size marked in them, so I was left with no other choice but to put those puppies on. They were with my size 10's and the sizes bigger than that were kept separate from the 10's as are the smaller sizes. I put them on and everything was great on the thighs and the butt, BUT the gut was a definite issue. After this VERY scientific experiment, I determined that my butt and thighs are a size 10 while my big ol' fatty belly is still a 12. I can handle this for now. For now.

FOR NOW, I am enjoying wearing clothing that I haven't worn in many years. That, my friends, is a good feeling in itself. I am also enjoying some more room in my "closet" from weeding out the clothes that I just don't care for anymore and ones that are TOO BIG.

Unfortunately, I have some shopping to do before vacation and before my cousin's wedding. I hope to be a size 2 before August. I kid! I kid! I think the last time I was a size 2, I WAS two years old. We will see what I end up with for these two events. My sister wants to get matching dresses for our cousin's wedding. I said no to that because I would look like the slob in the dress because there is no way to get the exact same dress to flatter two totally different body types, unless it is a mu mu.

Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you enjoying clothes that haven't fit in years, until next time...
