Determined Girl
Here's hoping
Hey gang,
Today I had to go get some new school shoes (I'm a teacher not a child lol!) for going to back to work and also needed some trousers. Despite my losses over the fortnight I still can't shoe-horn myself into any of my work trousers (have been wearing skirts with elasticated waists for some time!!!)
Well I was disappointed to discover that I wasn't miraculously a size 12 and had to buy some size 20 ones. It was depressing as hell. I really didn't want to buy any more 'big' clothes but had no option really.
THEN I saw two lovely dresses (work ones...but in a gorgeous way!) and bought them in...a size 16. Have no idea why. Tried them on at home and, innevitably, looked terrible- bulging out like a sausage with too much filling.
I KNEW I wouldn't fit into them when I bought them...BUT I still did. Bizarre. I think I've just got so much belief in LT that I have faith that I'll be able to wear them and look good. I don't know if this is a bad or good thing really. Am I being stupidly naive doing that whole buying clothes that are too small for me thing?
Arghhhhh! Does anyone else find themselves doing things like this or am I a lone mentalist who needs to take them back immediately?
