Default NSV....Woohoo

I went to NY & Co...tried on the next size down and they fit...button and everything! Woohoo! They are still a little tight, so I will wait a little longer before I buy anything...but that made me so happy...esp since I am leaving in 4 days to go visit a friend I havent seen in a year. I wanted to have new clothes to wear...but I will take this instead...

Plus, I've seemed to notice people (esp guys) seem to take a little more notice of me. I don't know if its just a fluke or waht...but they do...esp today since I splurged and went to the clinique counter and had the lady show me how to do my makeup. (of course, my hands are still shaking over the sticker shock...I'[ve never spent so much on makeup, ever. but then, i never wore any really eiother.)

I look like a real girl! Its only taken me 23 years to decide to try and look like one....but better late than never, right? lol

Way to go! I'm finally able to get into clothes I haven't been able to wear in about 18 months--it's such a great feeling. Clinique is about the only thing I can use--I have psorasis parts of my face and it doesn't aggravate it during my breakouts. I very seldom wear makeup, especially at work, I work in an instutional kitchen and the steam from the dishwasher would melt whatever I had on, but I get a free steam facial on the days I work Have a great time visiting your friend.

It's always a thrill to find that you can fit into a smaller size. Keep up the good work!

Good for you Vanessa! I am happy to hear too that you are having fun and treating yourself to some "girly" things. I have never worn makeup for more than a few days in a row myself (my interest in it goes away faster than my interest in dieting ) but lately I too have been buying a few select items here and there and slowly trying them out. It is amazing how fast your confidence improves when you are losing, regardless of how many lbs you are or how many you've lost.
