trying on clothes

[BIG BIRDY]

Just been in town, and there are still some bargains to be had. So I went into Blacks the camping shop and tried on some walking trousers for the summer. Usual size 16 which is usually very small, but I thought I'd give them a whirl. TOO BIG!! Now I know some ladies would love to be a 16, it's not that, but it just goes to show what a difference 2stone loss makes. When I held out the waistband of the trousers and there was a big gap, it made me realise that the only stuff that filled it was fat. That was a real incentive for maintaining i can tell you - even more than a photo of me i found yesterday.....me and my sister in law camping and I thought we were similar size. Only we're obviously not. Was I deluded or what?

Hi Nikki,

Fantastic when you find you are smaller than what you thought you were.


Love Mini xxx

I bought some jeans with a 38" waist today... I was in 42"ers a month ago!

it's great trying on stuff and having it fit I've always had 2 pairs of black trousers in my wardrobe that I couldn't be bothered taking back to the shop... I bought 3 pairs from the same shop, same day, different styles, only one pair fit so I wore them to death.. but now I've tried on the old pairs and they're too big FINALLY! and now they'll be too big to actually wear!! I'll take them to charity I think.
and all my jeans are too big and I'm just starting to fit in all my skirt again which is cool.
I'm refusing to go shopping (except for a new pair of jeans!) until I'm closer to goal. mum almost bought me some stuff in a smaller size but I said I've already bought enough "diet incentive" clothes over the years and they've always been the last thing that happens before I fail!! plus I want to have that feeling of going into the shop and trying it on like you've just done!!

Woohoo, that's great! Trying on clothes is the best way of 'seeing' you've lost weight I think.
