One For The Record Books

So, I”ve lost about 25 pounds courtsey of the new job, which has allowed me to do some things I have never done, or haven’t done in a long time.  First, I have some clothes in a pile for Goodwill, which is not unusual, however, instead of these clothes being donated due to being too small, I’m giving away clothes that are too big.  I’ve never done that before. 

Secondly, I am wearing t-shirts with only 1 X in front of the L.  I also no longer own, “skinny jeans”, because I can wear my former skinnies. 

My proudest moment came last week in Wal-Mart, when I tried on a pair of shorts in the regular women’s section, and glory be, they fit.  Sure they’re a size 18, the biggest size in the women’s section, but they weren’t in the plus sized section.  I can’t remember the last time I shopped out of the plus section.  It had to be at least 5 years ago.  I’m estatic.
