when i was doing research about my weightloss surgery i read about non-weightloss victories. i just had one today.

when i met with my surgeon for the last time in april he told me i lost 60% of my weight and i'm considered a "success". i questioned him about losing 100% of the weight and he said most likely i never would... that i have a bigger bone structure. he pissed me off. since april i've lost an additional 15 pounds and i plan on continuing to lose. i even lost 2 pounds over thanksgiving weekend!

anyway... that's not my victory.

my mom gave me a $50 giftcard to kohl's... my favorite store. they're having another "BIG SALE" which they have every week but i decided to go spend my money... can't have it burn a hole in my pocket, right?

i grabbed a skirt, a couple of shirts, corduroy pants and a couple pair of jeans. what sucks is that i'm in one of those in between sizes so i have to take 3 different sizes in the dressing room. i always start with the biggest size and work my way down.

the skirt, which i have a few different patterns already... the size 8 TOO BIG! i'm now a size 6!

the corduroy's... the size 10 TOO BIG! i'm now an 8!

the shirts... the large TOO BIG! my boobs now fit into a medium!

now the jeans... i hate jeans. i hate the way they fit. i hate the way they feel. i always get disgusted trying them on. today was no different. the Levis size 10 were too big but the size 8 felt too tight.

there happened to be a pair of skinny jeans size 8 already in the dressing room when i got in there. for shits and giggles i tried them on... and they fit AND i looked good in them! ME in SKINNY jeans?!?!?

i'm beginning to LOVE shopping...
