Size 14's!!!!
I went shopping this weekend. I bought a size 14 skirt (not a stretchy one) and a pair of size 14 jeans!!! Woohoo!!! I don't think I have ever been in size 14. I went from a size 12 to a size 18, in just a manner of a few months. I didn't gradually get fat, I did it in one big bang!!! This is a huge moment for me. I know that by summer I'll be in size 12's. I haven't worn a size 12 in at least 12 years. My daughter has never seen me skinny. She's only known her mom to be heavy. I am happy!
I am going to see my sister this week for the first time since November. I can't wait to see her reaction to my now almost 40 pound loss!!! She lost a lot of weight on Atkins so she understands my struggle. She's a tiny little thing now. Even though she's 13 years older than me and took after her mother as far as bone structure, she's struggled with the same issues. We both got our father's extremely round full face so even skinny we still have fat cheeks!!
My husband told me last night that I was really looking good. I can see it, but it was nice that he acknowledged it. He has insecurity issues with my weight loss, but he sounds like he's more focused on losing weight too. Hopefully by this time next year we will both be at goal and looking hot!!
