Default Fighting against food temptation is rewarded by a medium JUNIOR shirt!

Working at McDonald's... such a temptation sometimes. But today, I had a NSV! All morning I was working with the biscuits; the smell was torturing me. I wanted one SOOOOOOOOO bad. For a FULL HOUR I contemplated eating one. In the end, I decided to wait until I could eat something nutritious instead of opting for mostly empty calories. I passed up the biscuit and went for some SBD grilled caesar wraps instead. Less calories, more filling, and NUTRIENTS!

While on my break, I passed by the Juniors department (my McDonald's is inside a Walmart), saw a CUTE CUTE CUTE(!) green and blue paisley halter top. I didn't have time to try it on then, but after work I did. I reached for the large, since it's Juniors and those sizes run small. Put it on, and what do I find? It's TOO BIG. I loved the color and cut, though, so I decided to buy the Medium (size 7-9!!!) without trying it home. When I got home, I put it on and it fit really great (had a bit of trouble getting it off, though ). I can't believe I own a JUNIORS size Medium. Never in my life have I owned something so small. I'm still in shock. I've attached pictures (don't mind the messy room)

Thank you everyone! I can't wait to wear it in the next couple weeks when my sister (who hasn't seen me in nearly a year) comes to visit. The last time she saw me, I weighed around 175 pounds; so I've lost 25! I can't wait to see her reaction.
