I got to play dress up today

Last New Years, my resolution was to only keep clothes in my closet that actually fit; it was a struggle every morning to stay positive as I looked at all these clothes that I loved but couldn't get into. (My other resolution was to get healthy in 2012, but that took longer to start manifesting.) So, I went to the box store and bought a bunch of totes. I packed away all my clothes by size. The size 14s and 16s and 18s and *gasp* 20s all got their own totes, labeled and dutifully sealed for that day when my other resolution actually came to pass.

I bought this super cool tote that was like a hanging closet for my lovely jackets and suits. Unfortunately, it couldn't bear the weight of those jackets and suits and I came home the next day (before I could cart everything to the storage unit) to a pile of tote, jackets, suits, and dresses. *sigh* I would have to keep them in my closet, after all. That has kind of been annoying. As I prepped for event after event, I would mournfully look at those lovely outfits and know I still had nothing to wear.

Today, I put on my trusty black pants. Those pants that were on the tight side the week before I started MF. (Ok, they were super tight - that tight that means when I sat down the zipper unzipped.) Those pants are now baggy. The waist is loose. I double checked in the full length mirror that is my closet door - yep, there are FOLDS hanging off my but! WHAT?!?!?!? When did that happen? I just took my measurements yesterday, I haven't lost but an inch in that area! Did the measuring tape lie? 

Tentatively, I took out my lovely spring green jacket - the one I was so sad to not get to wear at Easter and the Spring Luncheon because I couldn't button the buttons. I pulled it on and... IT FIT! Ok, it pulled a tad at the breasts, but I could button it and WEAR IT IN PUBLIC if I wanted to.Whoa! I took that measurement too, yesterday and have only lost a half inch there. 

I AM GOING TO GET TO WEAR SOME GREAT STUFF FOR THE HOLIDAY PARTIES!!!! 

I am going to get to pull some boxes out of storage before our trip in January!

And, I think I need to mark my measurement locations on my body with a sharpie, because I don't think I'm doing it right. I joked about this with my husband last night, but I just might be serious, now.
