Yesterday I wore my new size 14 jeans to work along with a shirt way more fitted that normal. As soon as I walked in a girl I work with (who is only 19, don't know why that matters, but it does) says very loudly "Girl, you look so skinny!" I immediately tried to shush her, not because I don't like to hear it but at that volume it was very embarrassing. She said, "Why do I have to shush? You loook good you should be walking around (she starts prancing)saying look at me!" She then says to someone I can't see, "Doesn't she look great?" Turns out it was my boss. Several other people come around the corner during this and comment on how red I have turned.
On a related issue, I now know how important it is to stop wearing those old baggy clothes once you grow out of them. When I originally lost the 20 lbs, no one noticed and that bummed me out. Now months later with only about 4 lbs more gone people ave finally started to notice and it has to be the clothes. I have been wearing jeans two sizes too big and shirts that now float on me.
Between her comments and the way I felt in these clothes that fit I had a great night at work. I urge you all to go buy at least one outfit that makes you feel good. All I can thnk of now is getting to the next size.
