Working My Way Back Into My Wardrobe

Found all of my old clothes - I kept the ones that are standards - and they're not that old - 4 years isn't a long time for business suits and the like. Lots of pencil skirts and jackets. I had a great time going through them. I found a belt that I bought on a trip the week before i got sick - when I was at my optimal health. You can see on the belt where i wore it at. I have set this aside as my goal. Its not about a number on the scale, I wanna wear that belt again! It was fun to go through all of the clothes and remember wearing them and focusing on wearing them again :) I have every size between where I'm at now and a size 6 :)

That's good you'll have something to wear!! I tossed it aaaaallllllll. I decided I was just never going to be small again. (not what I WANTed, just trying to be realistic.) My smallest clothes are 22/24 which do not fit even close. That'll be fun TOSSING THEM!! WOO HOO!! Aim for those 6's baby!!!

I couldn't believe the belt I found. I could MAYBE fit it around my thigh now. And honestly, its not really all _that_ tiny. I saw this cashier at the store the other day and she was TINY. I wanted to feed her a sandwich. I think her waist was literally the size of my ankle, and i still have small ankles. She looked completely emaciated. I was buying pillows and she barely had the strength to lift those. Like, she struggled to lift them into a plastic shopping bag. What is the deal with this look? I mean, Kate Moss would look like a full figured model next to this girl - and it wasn't because of anything "wrong" - she doesn't eat - she stood there talking to her coworker about it. She's seriously ill - like anorexic. Sometimes I think that would be worse than being obese. My husband looked at me when we walked out of the store and said "you're not gonna look like THAT are you?" I was like uhhh. NO. But that girl needs some damn help.
