I Am The Walrus

1. I actually enjoyed shopping today.
2. For the first time in the eight years I’ve had mid-year bonuses (GMA’s such a great company….cough), I only bought ONE BOOK and about TEN pieces of clothing and not vice-versa.
3. This one is a milestone: a blouse on a mannequin by the store window? Looked for it on the racks. Tried it on. It fit me. Bought it. Ain’t that a Pretty Woman moment there for ya?
4. I bought a blouse that didn’t have a size. I’ve never bought free size blouses before.
5. I was able to buy two pairs of jeans for the price of one because they had my size — a normal size (let’s not get numerical, basta it’s NORMAL). If I was my usual humongous self, I wouldn’t have gotten that bargain.
6. Got a denim jacket. A MEDIUM. I haven’t been medium since I was seventeen.
7. I tried on a dress (that was too expensive, but it was near the fitting rooms haha) and it looked great (yet slutty) on me. Too bad there’s no occasion to buy it for.
8. While jogging in UP, I chanced upon a guy ( who was jogging in the opposite direction from me) twice. The first time he just looked at me, the second time, he smiled at me. He was GOOD-LOOKING (by usual standards, not mine. As any friend of mine would attest, I have very bad taste in men haha).
9. Did I already say I was a medium? I’m a fucking Medium. I can’t get over it.
10. Looking at mirrors are especially enjoyable.

I’ll be pestering you with more post-weight loss stories so keep coming back.
