New clothes
|
Yesterday my own clothing situation reached a crisis level. I had literally nothing that I could wear that would stay on my body.Weight loss + very old clothes = take a step, yank up clothes, take a step, yank up clothes, and repeat. While losing weight is a very good thing, having absolutely nothing to wear is not. I was depressed about this ( why do clothes mean so much to us women , and why is it we moms think about our own needs last ??), and my Knight in Shining Armor (hubby), suggested we head off to Walmart and find something that would fit my new form. A great idea- my husband is one of those rare men who likes shopping and has a very good sense about clothing. So off we went, and I was lost as to what size I now wore, but I knew my measurements. I looked at the size chart , and thought this just cannot be right ! According to the numbers I was back down to my pre baby size ! While the scale shows I have lost weight as well as the measuring tape showing I lost inches, but it did not really sink in till I thought about clothing size. I had lost a full 3 sizes !!!! Prince Charming asked why this surprised me, and I said that it somehow seemed so official . I was so happy I almost cried . What an absolute Blessing to have Income Tax refund meet with a time when you need some new clothes and the store is carrying something that is cute , functional, modest and at a good price ! Thank you, Thank you, Thank You Father !!!!! |
