Day 75: A LARGE Victory

I had a wonderful experience today. I decided it was time to do a little clothes shopping because I'm going to need some casual dresses for upcoming wedding showers and other events.

So I went to Kohl's (it is slowly becoming my favorite store) and I walked straight to the plus size department, where I have shopped for the past several years. I looked around at their meager selection of dresses and found one or two that I didn't hate. I thought to myself, "Well, I guess this will have to work," and decided to go try them on.

On my way to the fitting rooms, though, a couple of "regular sized" gowns caught my eye. I picked up several of them, figuring that they wouldn't work, but I might as well give them a shot.

Well, the plus size dresses were too big for me, and some of the regular ones looked great! I actually ended up buying a really pretty maxi dress in a size....get this.....Large! This is the first time in my adult life that I've bought a clothing item without an "X" in the size! What an incredible feeling!

Now granted, the maxi dresses are stretchy and I probably could have fit into a variety of sizes, but I'm counting this a LARGE victory and it's going to keep me motivated on the way to my goal.

This morning when I weighed myself I was exactly 20 pounds lighter than my starting Weight Watchers weight. I'm not expecting these results tomorrow because I always weigh a few pounds less in the morning than I do later in the day.

But I feel so good to have been able to shop in the departments with the cute clothes and that I was able to fit into a large!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!
