I was out to Asda today to buy some freezer bags, and got reeled in by their sale on clothes.
As the sale was so good, I thought I would buy some clothes for a wee bit further down the line. Basically, I have clothes in size 8/10/small 12 up in the attic, and I have my clothes that fit me now at about size 16 (some of them still 18), but I have nothing in between. While I was working my way up the sizes as I as putting weight on I pretty much refused to buy new clothes, and wore leggings and big chunky jumper dresses until they were worn out. With that in mind, I bought some work clothes in size 14, thinking there was no point in even trying them on yet, as they would definitely be too small - I've only recently reached size 16.
However, I decided to try on a couple of items when I got home, as I wasn't too sure whether I'd keep them all and I was so pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of them fit me now! I'd still prefer to lose a smidgen more before wearing them, because I quite like my clothes to be a bit loose, but I could definitely wear them if I wanted without people looking at me and thinking I was wearing clothes that are too wee for me. Yay! The new influx of clothes has also prompted an outflux, and I got rid of a bunch of stuff that I love, but never want to fit again!
I also fit into a pair of jeans I've not fitted in well over a year, if not almost two years!
Happy days!
