I went shopping for some long sleeved tops and sweaters this weekend. I'm walking through the mall and my pants keep slipping down my hips. I figured I must have grabbed a size 16 instead of the 14 out if my closet. When I was in the fitting room I took a look and nope, these were 14's the smallest size I now own.

I don't feel very stable when I'm running ect. I'm wondering if I had fat pads that the ligaments and tendons were stretched over and now that some of it is gone they just haven't tightened. Has anyone else experiences this?

This weekend I cleaned out my walk in closet and all the dresser drawers. I purged every piece of clothing that was too big. This is the first time EVER, that ever single piece of clothing I own fits. There is not one thing left for me to say, "maybe some day it will fit". Today it all fits!!!

This morning while getting dressed I decided to wear jeans instead of scrubs since I will just be doing some charting in the office. I grabbed a pair of jeans I haven't had on in a couple years just to see how tight they would be or if I could even pull them up. They fit!!! Not only did they fit but, they were a little lose. These are the smallest jeans in my closet so, I guess this girl is going to do a little shopping! As if that weren't exciting enough, I decided to hop on the scale and BAM, ...
