So...It was my best girlfriend's birthday Saturday, so DF and I stopped by to surprise her. We enjoyed some cake and all that. She was totally suprirsed about how much weight I have lost. We are practically the same size. She said she is even jealous of my hands and my thin forearms. She gave me a size medium shirt she got at Target and said it is so me and to try it on. To my surprise....it was snug but fit. I was surprised a size medium would actually fit me. I have convinced myself that Old Navy's mediums are exactly an XL in disguise. She sent me a picture of me and her dog that she took and pointed out that this is why she wants my forearms. It definitely isn't what I see in person:
Then DF and I went out this weekend to get his wedding ring and I wanted to get a white 3/4 sleeve to wearing during our reception because I am so self conscience about my arms. We went into Torrid and I was all goo-goo eyed because I absolutely adore their clothes. I went through all their new clothing then hit clearance, hehe. I found a shirt I loved and gathered some other things to try on.
To my dismay I practically don't fit in their smallest size! Why to my dismay? Torrid has been my home for fashionable plus-size clothes for the last couple of years. I can't go in there for a second without leaving with some kind of new piece of clothing. And now I'm finding it hard to find things that fit from there.
I am sure this is a good thing, but inside I feel so.....sad? It's a very strange feeling and experience. Has anyone else experienced this?
