Talking First little NSV
Alright...I know to some people this doesn't seem like a big deal...however a lot of you ladies know where I am coming from on this one.

So Monday I start a new Job and needed some new work clothes (mainly kakhis) Well When my GMA was out shopping she thought she'd be nice and pick me up a pair that were on sale. I was really excited...until i saw the size, my heart dropped...it was a size smaller then what i wear. She felt bad and said she would return them for me...I took them in my room and slide them on ...and I have no idea why I did. Before there would have been NO WAY I could got into a size smaller...because my size was getting tight! lol ...but they fit!!! I was so so so happy!!! She aslo got me a shirt which WAS my usual size....and it is to big....I knew my clothes were getting lose but It felt so GREAT. Just the motivation a girl needs!!!

Wow wow wow! So many great things! I think the element of surprise is the best, though! Although you had your suspicions that the clothes were getting looser, here came concrete evidence in the form of a gift! That must have made it even more exciting! Congratulations on sliding into a new size! And on your progress so far -- you're doing great!

Congrats too, on the new job!

Oh, what's a GMA? Grandmother? I'm usually up on shorthand but this one stumped me!

I know that sinking feeling of the smaller size....I go through that every Christmas. Good for you for trying them on. That should be your new motivation for a while. Congratulations!!!!
