Dziennik suechru, 16 lis 10

The last time I bought a dress it was for my 30th birthday back in May. I bought a 20W then and remembered thinking how I had originally wanted to lose weight for my 30th and it hadn't happened.

After work, I went shopping for a dress for a holiday party. I found a dress.

It's a size 16

Not a 16W but an actual 16. Black velvet kinda short. I didn't think I'd be able to wear anything remote to this for another twenty five pounds at least. I really expected I'd have to go to Lane Bryant or Avenue (for a bigger size) since I wouldn't find anything that would fit in a department store. And yet, black velvet dress and even on SALE. (It came to like $45) Just have to figure out the right undergarments and it'll be perfect.

My size 18 pants that I'm wearing today, the pants I was desperately trying to get into for a lot of the summer are now big. In fact, I need to start belting them soon. My ankle boots that I remember having to fight with to get to zip are now perfect again.

I'm just... in shock I think. I mentioned it earlier but I'm doing two 5K walks between now and when I wear that dress so hopefully it'll look even better when I debut it.

Affirmations for today:
1) Life is what happens while you're making other plans, plan for the future but don't forget to live now.

2) Change your thoughts, change your habits, change your mind, change your body, change your life.
