Size And Body Image

My teeny tiny 4'11 friend have lost 32 pounds recently.She just got a huge promotion and today we decided to buy her a whole new wardrobe of dresses and shirts.

 

Of course the old stuff had to be turfed.As she was emptying her closets she came to me and said that most of her stuff is size 14 but some is 16 and I must fit them on.Never thinking they could fit I reluctantly tried and boy what a surprize.

 

Even her work suites fit me.And as I am more curvy they look gooood! An even bigger surprize is the fact that all the size 14 skirts fit as well.The tops are still to tight around the bust though.

 

Tis is such a blessing because they have been nagging me to buy new clothes.But for a few bits and bops I havent wanted to buy new stuff yet.I want to wait until just before the christmas holiday when we go home and should be down even another size by then.

 

The best of this is I have been buying her clothes for her for years as she is just too busy and she hated clothes shopping.I also have much better dress sense than her so she's got some really nice stuff.

 

Now I have new stuff and she has new stuff.She looks like a million dollars in all her new outfits and my kids mouths were hanging open when I walked into the lounge with some of her clothes on.

 

So I am shrinking,I just didnt realize it until today.

 

O and as we were walking,we played the size game again.I have to show her women I think are the same size than me and she would tell me yes or no and then show me people that are rally the same size than me.I still find it hard to believe when I see the people she shows me.But it helps me get in touch with my size slowly but surely.

It takes a WHILE for your brain to catch up to your weight loss. Here's a site someone told me about - http://www.mybodygallery.com/search.html?height=5+9&weight=160&pant=any&shirt=any&zphoto=Large&rectangle=1&new=1 look up ppl that are your height and weight and it shows real pix of ppl.

I am now referred to as "petite" (wth????) and that "skinny girl who works out like a fiend"... how different than what I've been used to for so long.

Congrats on your successes and may they only continue! Rock those clothes!!! xx
