Bye Bye Clothes...Hello new body

I am absolutely ecstatic to have lost so much weight (25 pounds since last May)....but without sounding like a total prick, may I complain only a little that it totally sucks not having enough clothes to wear?

I went shopping last Friday and the feeling was amazing. I was able to purchase 2 dresses size 6! I purchased jeans a size 4!!! But, what is still in the closet is starting to not fit at all.

I bought a shirt 4 years ago that I never wore. Not because I changed my mind when I got home...but because I didn't try it on at the store and then when I got home I realized it didn't fit. The store was on the other side of town, so I just thought "I'll figure out something to do with it"...it was a button up so I figured I could make it work. No such luck. Then, this week I saw it smashed between a bunch of sweaters.... I put it on and it fits! Actually it is slightly too big...see it is a LARGE...and my boobs used to be so big I had to buy a large, but now they are more like a medium and the rest of my body is a small. So...I better wear this shirt while I can because it too will not fit soon. And the size 6 jeans I have on with it are too baggy, so now I look like a bag lady in cute clothes....

I hate to complain because I know most people will be wanting to be in my shoes...but it is getting expensive for me to go buy new clothes all the time. But I guess having to keep purchase a smaller size is helping keep me motivated.

Also, by Ellen's request, I am going to post a progress pic this weekend that is in a different bathing suit. The one I have been posing in is too large. It makes it hard to tell what progress I'm really making. So I'm going to pose in the SMALL swimsuit I bought for this summer...plus it is purple and sparkly kind of like a real competitor suit. So I think it will be a little more fun to take pictures in.

It's fun losing weight, but it is totally expensive. I keeping all my old bigger clothes for after the next time I get pregnant! You should do the same. (If you are going yo have kiddos!)
