Trying to be positive..

Okay, I am tired of telling you all the bad things that I've been eating all week, so I'm going to try to make this post a little more "positive". :o)

Spent 5 hours at the mall today. Really nice mall, with lots of neat stores. I did stay out of the more expensive stores as much as I would have liked to find something in those stores. I was also felt weird trying to go in the young/hip stores. Anyway, I managed not to grow out of the clothes that I brought with me and the clothes that I tried on in the size I have been buying lately fit as well. I am having a hard time trying not to buy too much at one time and only buy what I need to get by for now, since I plan on going down another size at least before Mexico. I did find a swim suit for Mexico at the Target up here the other day. It's a tankini and has regular bottoms, rather than a skirt. It didn't look too bad. :o) I bought it since it was already on clearance (can you believe it?) and I was afraid I wouldn't find the right size when I got back home. The bottoms are a bit snug, but they WILL fit by the end of June. :o) I figured the top would still be okay.

I have also found that in most stores I can buy a Large top (used to buy an XL), but in some the Large is too big, but when I try a medium on, then it's just too small. So, it's just weird that there is so much difference between the two sizes. I am also having a difficulty with some of the tops in fashion now- the ones that are more like the baby doll style or something. They fit, but to me when I look in the mirror, I look like I am wearing a maternity top. When loosing weight, the last thing I want to do is look pregnant. Anyway, I managed to find some things, mostly tops that I can wear to work (some can be worn out as well). I did find quite a few things in a store called H&M (had never heard of it, do we have this store at home?), however I didn't buy too many things. That store is very reasonable priced, which is a big plus.

At the Victoria's Secret up here, the store had a large selection of their "PINK" items in the store and I really wanted a pair of "PINK" yoga pants (don't know why, but I do), but they were too long. :o( (The yoga pants were way cheaper than the sweat pants...Hubby would have killed me if I had bought the $68 pair of sweatpants that I liked...didn't bother to try them on..) Anyway, I really enjoy shopping for a different size than before and trying on things that I would never have dared to try on before. :o) Can't wait to shop for a new size.....

I'm in the same "in between" stage right now, too. I can't wait 'til I'm down the full size so I can go buy new clothes!
