Went into Matalan earlier today (thought it might be worth a look for cheap clothes) and it was really strange. They've got a new plus sized range in (Rogers and Rogers I think?) and for the first time ever I didn't even consider having a look - I just looked at the 'normal' sized range. Its a very odd thought that I can now go into most shops (bar Topshop which is still my ultimate goal!) and fit into their clothes. Admittedly I'm still wearing size 20 bottom halfs although they are now pretty loose but I did buy a size 18 pair of trousers yesterday so I think I am now officially an 18. When I bought the trousers I bought a size 16 top and that fits easily (must be a 'big' 16 as it seems far too loose!)
Considering only 11 weeks ago I was wearing size 22/24 jeans and size 20 tops I'm quite pleased about this.
People are also really starting to notice now as well - I always said 3 stone would be the 'noticing point' and it would seem I was right - its all very well people who know I'm on LL paying me compliments but I find its the compliments made by people who don't know about LL that mean the most to me. In my head that means that I must look different as apposed to my friends and family who I always think are just saying it to make me feel better (crooked thinking??)
Does anyone else feel though that during their time on LL, it feels as if they're waiting for something? I'm constantly looking forward and kind of feel like I'm putting my life on hold until this is all over. Hope this makes sense (it does in my head!)
