I have nothing great to share regarding my new and improved eating habits. They are really starting to become just that. Habits. Saying no is second nature. Thoughts of splurges are fewer and farther between. My pants look ridiculous, but I kinda like it. It reminds me how far I have come.
Speaking of pants, I owe a shopping story.
This past weekend my department's holiday party was held at the boss's house. I wanted to get some nice, dark, straight leg jeans and a top. All of the jeans I am wearing now are a size 22 and hang so far down the bottoms drag in the wet snow. Annoying. Good news and bad news shopping. Good = size 20 are too big. Bad = size 18 are too tight. I can get the 18's on and buttoned but they feel tight and I don't want that to discourage me. I am done wearing pants that hurt. 10 more pounds though, and they're mine.
I call my Jeffrey to tell him my news. His response? "Buy 19's." Typical man.
Also, I was able to buy a top in the Old Navy misses department. It's a size XXL, but two months ago that wasn't big enough. Back then I would only get to choose from the slim pickins' in the "Plus Size" area. Watch out misses, here I come!

It really chaps my hide that womens' pants aren't sized like mens'. If there was a length measurement I could pick, I wouldn't spend so much time standing on top of my mother's table in stiletto heels while she hems every pair of pants I buy. Ann Taylor's "short" model must be 5'8".
Oh, and if they would make each leg measurement independent, that would really help me out too. My right leg is shorter than my left.
