Day 63: Busy Bee

Today John and I decided to do "just a few" things. You know just as well as I do that that translates into "you don't even have time to shower, but get in the car and prepare not to see the light of day anymore".  I should have realized that ahead of time, but I foolishly thought that a "quick trip to get a watch battery" really would be a "quick trip to get a watch battery". Amateur. After a low cal lunch of Jimmy John's I was fueled and ready for the day. After a quick stop for a pedicure (I NEEDED it. Trust me.) we headed back to the mall to pick up the watch. Of course, we meandered through the mall in case there was anything else we NEEDED. Did I mention that I finally bought a new pair of jeans yesterday? And a sundress in a LARGE, not an EXTRA large, AND if my "girls" weren't so damn big I could have bought the MEDIUM?! Did I!? DID I?!?!?!? I really don't remember......
But that was yesterday... and today I looked longingly at American Eagle. I looked longingly at the boyfriend fit jeans that I used to wear with ease. I told John that I would really start to feel better about all this calorie counting stuff if I could JUST fit into American Eagle jeans again. He brought me into the store. I again looked longingly at the jeans. He finally convinced me to try a pair on. The biggest size they have is 14 (which is American Eagle world is APPALLING that anyone would EVER need jeans that big.) so I picked them up and slunk off to the dressing room sure I would still not be able to wear them. Afterall, I haven't been able to wear them in YEARS. So I closed the door and said a prayer.... and put them on with ease. And there was ROOM!!!!!!!! WHAT!? I now danced my way out of the dressing room to tell John. He tells me to buy them. I tell him no. I tell him I want to wait until I can wear a 12 before I buy them. He tells me to try on a 12. Crap. So I do.... I say another prayer. And again, they button and zip! A 12?!?!?!?!?!? Now, not ready to wear out of the house quite yet, but by the time these jeans go on sale again, I WILL buy them and I WILL wear them. And any of you who are in the single digits and thinking you are "so fat" and "if I was a 12 I would kill myself" you can suck it. For the rest of you who know my pain and my joy of finally being able to close a size 12, celebrate with me won't you!? A 12!!!!!!!!!!!

63 days down...117 to go!
