Size 12

Since I have lost 35 pounds all of my clothes are waaayyy too big. However I have just been wearing my workout clothes instead of buying new ones. After all I can pull the drawstring tight and they fit, and what’s the point of buying clothes in a size I don’t plan on being for long. On the other hand it makes getting ready for church interesting because all my dresses are literally falling off me. Well last Sunday MH got tired of it and said that I had to go and get at least one new dress for church because it was getting ridiculous. So we decided that we would go this past Monday, I was excited but nervous because I was not sure what size I would be. The last dress I bought was a size 18 bridesmaid dress for my friend’s wedding. Needless to say I was not too sad when out trip to the store kept getting pushed back. Finally Friday came and MH, Lil O, and I were out to eat and he said that we could go look for a dress after we finished. So we get to the store (by the way did I mention that I am cheap) and they are having a huge sale plus, card holders get an extra 15% off, for this I am excited. I am looking and looking and I finally find a dress that I like the look and the price but they only have it in a size 12 or a size 18. Well I know I am not a 18, so I decide to try on the 12. I was walking to the dressing room with a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach because that room has been like the depths of HELL to me for the past 4 years. I use to go in with hope and come out with lower self esteem, I never liked the way I looked and I usually left whatever I tried on with the dressing room attendant as I walked out of the store. So I went in the dressing room and close the door behind me, turn my back to the mirror and got undressed. I pulled the dress up and put my arms in and zipped it up, IT FITS YEESS!!!!!!! I was so excited and happy and not only does it fit; I liked the way I looked in it and so did MH. Then to make it even better, the discounted price for the dress was $19.99, plus the 30% off sale and the 15% off for having a store card. I got that dress for $9.09 after tax, not bad for a less than $10 dress, right.
