Aaaan just like that...Fall is gone and winter is here.

As pretty as the trees are when they begin to change color, it sure is drab and dreary when all the leaves fall off very shortly there after! Oh well.

So, I finally went and did something for myself. I bought some new clothes, that fit me!! I guess it's been a combination of laziness, exhaustion, having no time, I don't know but I have seriously been still wearing my maternity clothes up until about a week or two ago. At first I was just too scared to get my old jeans down from the attic because, let's face it, who the hell wants to put their old jeans on just to find that, Ta Da! They don't fit? Not me! So, I just stuck with the clothes that were falling off of me. At least they hide everything. Anyway, I finally got all my clothes out of the attic and put all the maternity clothes away for good. I was very excited to find that two pairs of my old jeans fit me. Granted, they were my "fat jeans" and they were snug, but they fit!! That my friends is some very serious motivation! Plus I forgot about all the cute jeans I had before getting knocked up that I'd really like to get back into. I still have a lot of weight to lose but I'm on my way.

So, I went shopping the other day. I decided I didn't care what size I had to buy or how much it cost, I needed to get some jeans and tops that fit me and that I feel comfortable in. I ended up buying 4 pairs of jeans, 3 sweaters and 3 tops. I was very happy and it felt good to put some normal clothes on. And I have to admit something so lame and embarrassing...So, I'm in one of the shops that generally caters to people way younger than me, but their jeans usually fit me. Well, they fit me this time too, it was just the largest size they had. As I'm at the register paying I blurt out, "I just had a baby and I'm trying to find some clothes that fit"....Ummm, yeah, the two "kids" behind the register could have cared less. The female basically looked at me like I had 3 heads and the guy, bless his soul, was like, "oh cool", or something like that. Oh my god, I am old! Don't ask me why I said it but I did. It was out there and I couldn't get out of that store fast enough. One bonus however, was that each pair of jeans that I was buying were about $50+ a piece and when he rang them up they totaled $35 for both of them together!!! Major score. I paid, then I ran out of there so fast there may have been smoke coming from behind me...

Anyway, I am happy to report that I am now dressing like a normal person. I will however consider taking the maternity pants back out for Thanksgiving...he he...
