What the !?!

Totally oddness today.  I had to go out to buy some pants because I’d killed yet another pair of my yoga pants (a staple for someone who stays home with the kids all day and wants to pretend she hasn’t descened to wearing sweats on a daily basis yet)….So I do what I always do and pick up the nice XL pants…because I’ve never wanted to admit I actually need something bigger than that.. oh no!  Not me!  So I suck it up (or in rather) and wear my thankfully very stetchy yoga pants. 

When I go shopping I never try anything on…how depressing would that be?!?  I mean, I’m one of those weirdos who hates shopping anyway, but add trying on clothes too that?? And seeing myself  in those mirrors??  Under those lights?!  I’d probably try to fashion a noose with the pants in the dressing room! LOL!

 Anyway, so I’m shopping (insert moan here), and I do what I always do and just grab an XL and drop it in the cart as I fly past, trying to get out of the store as fast as my superhero powers will let me. 

 Then I get home..and what the holy hannah?!?  They don’t …fit??  They’re …HUGE??  What the freak is this??   This has never before happend to me…it’s always the opposite.  I get the crappy things home and they’re too small and they go in my pile of things to wear when I finally lose weight (c’mon now, you know you have one too!).  But being too .. big??  At first I’m in such shock I just can’t understand…can’t quite get what’s happened.  And then it clicks…I AM losing weight, yee hee!  So I do a little dance in my cramped bathroom, pants flopping madly about…  YA HOO!  Now I guess I”ll have to go raid that pile of things I’m supposed to wear once I’ve lost weight!  LOL!

 Here’s to finally seeing some results…not just in numbers but in life too!!
