So, I having been feeling so terrific about my weight loss that I decided to try shopping today.
I went to Nordstrom and headed for the plus size department.
I have an event to attend in October and had been thinking about buying a pricey little black dress that I saw in a catalogue. They had the dress at the store and on sale.
Sold out of 3X but I was emboldened to try on a 2X. It was TOO BIG.
So I tried on the 1X. For the first time in my entire life, a 1X was TOO BIG.
Found another dress, another brand in a 2X that fit nicely and was also on sale. It was stretchy jersey so it didn't have to fit in a very exact way
BUT... I'm kind of frustrated. My body doesn't seem the right size for the plus sizes any more. I'm plus through the waist, but the shoulders and sleeves now swim on me, and the loose floppy legs of the jeans don't look good.
Now, I feel kind of the wrong size for everything. I'm still too big to wear normal clothes, but the plus sizes fit right around my waist and nowhere else.
I swim and walk for exercise, but would it help to try to tighten up my abs, (if I even knew how to do such a thing?)
Have other people noticed weird shape transformations as they get smaller?
