I went to the mall for a couple of new dresses. My fitting room experience was not one of dreadful confusion. Instead it became a fun time to play dress up. It took me awhile to get there since I was trying on dresses that were too large due to my old shape mentality. Luckily my cousin pushed me and nagged me until I tried on size large dresses.
I was in complete awe. Not only did the dresses fit but I could see a shape. I could not believe my eyes and all I could think about was the large pay off from all of my hard work. I was so glad I did not give up when the scale was not moving because I fit into sizes I have not been in since 2002.
Now it is not all about the changes in sizes or the constant thought about the number on the scale. It is also about how this weight loss provides fulfillment in all areas of my life. Sure, I feel better when I'm looking for new outfits but I also have the confidence to do more. I can jog, climb, and sit over a cliff with running water. I am completely and totally in love with life.
To being grateful and keeping it playful.
