Hi all,

I went clothes shopping today and noticed something strange. I've gone down quite a few sizes since I began my weight loss, but I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I need smaller clothes.

It's definitely a strange feeling.. at first, when I pick up something cute in the size I need, I think to myself "Why am I even bothering to try this on, it's totally not going to fit." I'm strangely happy when it does, but my mindset seems to be that the clothes are just getting bigger, not me getting smaller.

Anyone else experience this?

Oh yes. Even though I can eyeball my size now, I still can't wear things that properly flatter my figure.

I went to Mandee and while I can wear everything in the store with little issue, I couldn't wrap my head around me wearing some of the clothes there. Instead I went for some "safe" things I could wear for work in the warmer months. In my defense I did need those since I literally have no spring work clothes, but I don't have any spring casual clothes either.

I think I about cried the first time I brought a size 14 in the dressing room and it was a little on the loose side. I had been wearing 18's, so I was pretty shocked those little clothes fit! Not a little size to most people, but those 14's were tiny to me.
