Identity Crises

Well, today is Wednesday, it is the day that Dean gets home from school and work, very late (10pm),  that leaves me plenty of time to hang out by myself, and of course get into trouble.

Today, I decided to go to Target,  I needed to replace our scale...I broke it.... and before all the fat jokes are launched at me, I stepped on it wrong, causing it to rise to a 45 degree angle, and then slam down again. I have done that many, many of times, I think it just got tired of all the abuse from me. :) I tried changing the batteries, but no luck the old one doesn't do anything. I just hope the new one is as friendly, and calibrated the same as the old one.

Also at Target, I decided to do something very, very, very dangerous..... try on clothes.

I decided to head for the racks of Jeans.... I tried on a few different sizes ... I am ecstatic to report that I was able to comfortably fit into a size 16 misses.... that is a far cry from the previous size of 24 wide petite. I debated for quite some time about weather or not to purchase these... I had them in my cart while I shopped for a scale, powerade zeros, and just general browsing....  I decided to put these pants back for several reasons. Although they fit comfortably, they made me feel like I was having some sort of hot flash, I think it was just the material. I also found myself questioning weather I really can and should be shopping at a normal size clothing shop, or if I needed to continue to shop at the Plus Size Shop.  I also elected to put them back because I knew that my husband would adamantly complain about the waste of his money. Some battles, just aren't worth fighting, so I put them back on the shelf... Also, my great friend who is my fashion guru, suddenly moved to a different state, so now I don't have anyone to tell me "that looks great T, we're definitely getting it!" Or "Nope, T, that is a definitely not!" So I am super gun shy about purchasing clothes. I have tried to call him, to set up a shopping date whenever we are in California, but currently  the method of contacting him, is off on his end. :(.

I have decided that I will just continue to utilized a belt, and get new pants, later, perhaps in a couple of months.

I figured that there are from skeptics out there, who are doubting my weight loss and thus transformation, so I thought, what the heck, here is a photo for you. Size 16 pants, and Dean's polo.
