Old Navy

Full Disclosure: I may have mentioned this before, but in case I didn't, I've been in a size 20/22 for longer than I care to remember.

I bought some shorts online at Old Navy and they arrived the other day. Lo and behold! They were too big. Imagine my surprise! So today I returned them at the mall and decided to try on some cute capris that were on sale. Well, they are a size 18 and weren't tight at all!

One thing that is annoying for sure is the fact that clothing stores don't size their clothes the same way. For example, I have a pair of shorts from the Gap that are a size 20. I was finally able to get them on and buttoned tonight, but they are still too tight and uncomfortable to wear. But I have some khaki pants from the Gap that are a 20 that fit fine. And here I go to Old Navy and the size 20 is too big! Go figure...

I was able to find an old Excel sheet where I had listed some body measurements. I don't know how accurate they were bc I was trying to do it myself with an old tape measure. I have a new one that's specifically for body measurements, and according to it I've lost 4.5 inches in my waist! No wonder clothes are fitting better.

Tomorrow may be a bit of a challenge since we're taking a road trip up to Tampa to see Batman at the IMAX there. I suppose I should have planned out my meals before now, but oh well. I can always have a salad.

And my husband said something that's good to remember. In order to keep losing weight, I just need to continue doing what I'm doing right now. And there's no good reason not too. Unless, of course, you try to go walking and find 2 stray dogs wandering down your street! That happened to me and the kids tonight. Fortunately the dogs never got too near us, but at one point they were heading our way. That's when I called Damian and he came down to the street with the broom (for lack of anything better to carry!).
