NSV: Slimmed (not slimed) myself out of a store



Recommended Posts

Wow: It finally happened.

I went to a plus size chain store ( Avenue ) with my sisters today, and tried on pair after pair of pants, capris, skirts etc. I kept grabbing Size 14's. And they were all too big in the legs (I have enviably-shapely lower legs, but oh those Upper Thighs! :) ) and the waist.

I tried to find size 12's (Avenue now carries some 10/12's in certain items) but they did not have any 12's in the items I looked for, the smallest was 14. (Now these are plus sizes of course, so really these were 14W's that were too big for me.)

In fact, only one pair of slim-fitting cropped pants in size 14 actually fit me. They were on sale so I grabbed them but hopefully it will be one of the few 14's I ever have to buy, at least them.

I know it sounds weird to Celebrate not being able to fit 14's but for a tall, large framed gal like myself - it's a minor miracle.

NSV, indeed.

Just under 5'9" with my hair up, LOL....:rolleyes

Seriously I'm a large frame girl for sure. And I'm not the tallest in my family by far - my mother was 5'10" my older sister is nearly 6' feet tall... and the nieces in my family are pretty tall too.

So a Regular -14 looks OK on me - but if I got down to a real 12 that would be a huge improvement.

If I get down to a size 10, then I'm out of here.

It will be HELLO, HOLLYWOOD! :)

(OK, I know most Hollywood actresses wear sizes 2,4, or 6 maximum :kiss2: but hey, not everyone can be a Size 0 like Eva Longoria. )

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
