I can't believe it!

This morning I was in Walmart to get some more diapers for my baby. I was walking past these very cute suit jackets that were hanging on this rack and I decided to try one of them on. It was a size 6, Guess what people?! IT FIT!!! It was a little tight in the chest area, but hey I was able to get it on and do up the first button! Yee Hah! I couldn't help but smile this BIG smile when I was hanging it back up. It felt great to be able to put on that size again! I remember that after I had lost about 15 pounds, that I was finally able to wear a Size 16/18 shirt with buttons down the front, but it was really kind of snug. I had to safety pin the front so that the shirt wouldn't pop open. Now I'm able to fit into a Size 6?! I can't believe it! I can't even believe that I can now even consider even trying on a Size 6 anything. It's crazy! So after trying on that jacket then I HAD to try on something else that was a Size 6. I found another jacket in a Size 6, but it fit a little differently. It was a little bit tighter then the other jacket, but I was still able to get it on. Why are sizes different from one garment to another? I don't understand that. Anyways, So I tried on this really cute skirt that was a Size 8. That fit too, and I could NOT believe that I was able to even try one something that size. This weight loss journey has sure been chalk full of ups and downs, and a couple plateaus, but over all it's been an awesome journey and one that I'm SO glad that I started. I shutter to think what I would be like today had I not started a healthier life one year ago. It's scary to think about that. Today as I was driving back from the gym, I saw a lady that I had met a little less then a year ago walking on the side walk. She was still as heavy as she was when I had met her. As I drove past her, I had this thought come to me. Had I not started doing the Weight Watchers program, I would still be at MY heaviest weight, and letting life pass me by. I was just existing in life, not really living it. I'm SO happy to say that I am living life, and having a great time doing it! I love that!
