I had to go shopping today. Even my skinniest pants are falling off my hips and going all bundled up with a belt to a client does not feel very flattering. I still had an Abercrombie and Fitch gift certificate of over $200 – my last years birthday gift from my dad! – which I had kept for exactly the time such as now.
Almost 3 hours did I peruse the shops and came home with a whole bundle of stuff: pair of good slacks for business meetings, a dress which can be worn at the wedding in October, a Turtle neck for under the dress, bras, underwear and several pair of jeans. I am all set for a while. And exhausted was I after all of that!
It’s official – I am now a size 6. I was a 10 when people said I don’t need to lose weight. A size 6 with a waste of 28 inches. This is when finding a length of 32 inches becomes difficult, but 31 inches is okay mostly. I finally got again fitting jeans!
Finding the right new bra was more challenging. I am actually not sure if I could not have done better and should had gone some other place too, but by then I was tired and after trying on 25 different bras – not to speak of all the pants and dresses before that! – I was happy to get anything that felt somewhat decent. Not the way to spend $50 a bra, but heck, even if they are not perfect, I’ll still make use of them – and I was ready, ready, ready to be done. Numbers? What used to be before either 36B or 38B (depending the cut) was now all a 34B. With other words, I lost fat around my upper body without losing in cup size (even though I THINK they do look smaller, getting rid of fat can do that!). That’s what they always say on the list, you will lose fat, not boobs and I guess they are right 
So, overall I am a happy camper. Makes this milk day a bit less cumbersome.
