Non-scale Victory

So, I was at Kohl's the other day and found a cute pair of jeans for 75% off.  $13.70 for a pair of $44 jeans - I couldn't pass them up.  Here's where the non-scale victory comes in:

For those of you who have ever shopped at Kohl's, I hope you will agree with me that their sizes are off.  If one usually wears a 10, you are better off getting a 12 a Kohl's.  They tend to run small, right?  So, back to this cute pair of jeans.  They are a size 22, which is my usual size everywhere but on the Planet Kohl's.  I thought they were such a great deal that I would buy them anyway and hopefully fit into them in a few weeks.  I have a thing about trying on clothes while actually at the store, so I bought them without trying them on (like they would fit anyway, right?  Why set myself up, y'know?).  Well, I get back home, in the comfort of my own bedroom and try them on.  Again, Kohl's has weird sizes, so I really expected them to be small, even though they are the size I wear everywhere else (size 22).  Guess what?!  THEY FIT!!!!  And they look good!!!!  So, do you realize what this means?  I am probably actually SMALLER than a size 22!  Yee-haw!  Look at me - almost to the teens!  In reality I am probably between a size 20 and a size 22 (don't you hate that gray area when nothing fits either way?), but Kohl's has made me very happy.  I am smaller than I thought I was!   

Happy, happy!  Joy, joy!  (you get bonus points if you know where that phrase comes from. )

I also found a pair of workout pants in a size 2X.  Can I just say - THEY ARE HUGE!  For some reason, I thought they would be just right.  But I had the realization after I tried them on that if I wear a size XXL in pajama bottoms, why would a 2X fit?  Why are XXL and 2X NOT the same size?  Weird.  But again, Kohl's came through for me and I am a happy girl!

Happy day to you all!  Start thinking about those resolutions - but don't forget to reflect on how far you've come too.  That's just as important!
