What Not To Wear

What not to wear? Clothes that are too big. They make life hard. People keep saying isn't it a great feeling? Honestly, not really. It is a pain in the butt. You have keep pulling up your pants or your shirts have too much fabric and it really is just annoying. It also means you have to buy new clothes and that involves two things 1. Shopping and I do not like shopping and B. Money which is not growing on trees. However, I am real thankful for my parents who have bought me some new clothes and for the Old Navy gift card my brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Amber gave me for Christmas. I have added some clothes that I have shrunk out of. Not only for y'all to see, but also for me to look back on and see how far I have come and to encourage to keep going. Disclaimer, these pictures are bad and nowhere near my normal quality of picture taking, but I am okay with that for now.

 Pair of pants on the left - too big. 

Pair on the right - smaller size.

 Both too big...

 Pair on the left, too big pjs - also my favorite pair ever. Sad to put them to rest.

Pair on the right, new pair.

 Shirt on the left, old pj shirt. Also a favorite. If you are ever in Bozeman, I will pay you to buy 

me a new shirt! I am totally serious!

Shirt on the right, new pj shirt.

 Both pairs of pants...too big.

 Pair on the left, biggest pair of pants I have ever owned.

Pair on the right, two sizes smaller.

 I pulled this out to wear with a black dress to a dressy dinner with my 

dad's staff in Richmond. Too big. Wore a green sweater instead.

Slowly but surly, the box is filling up.

It hit me this morning that I have lost 41 pounds overall. 41! That is a big number! That is a lot of weight to lose. It often doesn't feel like a lot because I usually think week to week instead of overall. But today I was like woah! 40 lbs. I would be very impressed with anyone who has lost 40 lbs and I have done that and I need to be proud of myself!

I have lost this kid! This is my 4 1/2 year old nephew, Luke. I have 

officially lost him...and a smidge more!

All in.
