Scale Victory first - I'm not sure how, but for the first time EVER in my life (well, since probably middle school or early HS) i got on the scale and saw a 1 and a 6 followed by a ZERO! (I enjoyed myself today while out with my parents... so I'm sure it will disappear for a day or two, but that feeling was awesome!)
so meanwhile, after having lunch with my parents, we went over to a nearby mall, where I found myself doing something I haven't done (at least not by myself and without considerable prodding) in years...
I actually went in the 'cool' stores... Gap, Deb, Express, Etc...
I've battled depression for a number of years and it always attached itself to my weight... so I used to feel like I wasn't good enough to go in those stores... and it was just verified by me not being able to find things in my size when I would go in.
To make it even better... I actually tried on dresses in Deb... 6 dresses... didn't buy one because I couldn't decide which one I liked better, since they all fit!
