It fits!

Within a matter of about 12 days, I'm elated to announce that my favorite and absolutely delicious leather jacket once again fits me. Actually, it not only fits me, but it zipped all the way up as the fashion gods intended. I wore it on Saturday on my really awkward date with Safeway dude. He might have been a loser, but I sure as hell looked like a winner. Also in clothing news, all of my size 20 items no longer fit me. Not even a little bit. I cleaned out my closet full of size 20s this weekend and made a hefty pile that I have yet to know what to do with. Part of me wants to profit from this slightly while part of me thinks I should just donate it to Goodwill. I think I'll opt to make money off of it first, but if that proves to be futile, I suppose I'll just donate it.

While I'm tooting my own horn, can I just say how fabulous I've been looking these days? A friend of mine suggested this website called Gwynnie Bee for my clothing needs and it has proven to be spectacular. In a nutshell, you are more or less renting your clothes for a flat rate per month and they cater to sizes 10 and up. This is perfect for me since I'll be losing weight and dropping sizes relatively fast and can't afford to buy a new work wardrobe every few weeks. So I basically get to wear a new outfit every day of the week since I'm taking out 10 articles at a time, and if its something I really love, I recloset it for a later date and in a smaller size. My outfit today is especially awesome though. I also have a huge milestone yesterday. Someone at work (who didn't know about the surgery) poked her head in my office and said "You've been looking skinny lately? Have you been trying?" Why, yes, yes I have been trying, and THANK YOU; you're my new favorite person in the world, even though you are annoying and ratted myself and my colleague out to our boss's boss for no goddamned good reason. Whoa - I got a little motional there. Anywho, it was the first compliment from a random and I felt so spectacular about myself afterwards.
