10 pounds?

I have officially lost about 10 pounds. Jonathan has two five pound hand weights and I picked them up yesterday and was shocked. I knew I was feeling "lighter", had noticed changes in the way my clothes fit, and had watched the number on the scale get smaller, but this was the first time I had felt what ten pounds was exactly.

So in celebration and necessity we went to Old Navy looking for cheap clothes for me to wear (especially work pants) while I was continuing to lose weight. I definitely went down a size there, but I had forgotten that when it comes to clothes at Old Navy, I can pretty much only wear their shirts. I needed pants. All of my pants are too big! The pants that were my "skinny" pants that I could only wear once or twice a month are now the only pants that fit. And one of those pairs is even a little big and slouchy now. So there was no depression based on feeling overweight, but there was massive frustration in that I really loved the clothes I tried on! I really wanted a pair of mint green capris to wear on biz-cas-Fri. I really wanted a pair of relaxed cargo pants. I really wanted a pair of blue chinos to replace the khakis I have. But none of those fit me right. I know I'd oddly shaped, but wow.

So I am still working on losing more weight and finding a place where a girl with a full chest and big butt can buy clothes. Where did I shop before???
