New Clothes

I'd just like to take a moment to thank all of the people who have recently began following me. Thank you so much! It means a lot to me and it's such a motivation boost! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I've been looking around for a new blog template and I haven't quite found one that fits. This one is okay for now, but I'm still on the hunt for something springy/not too busy. I seem to find either really emo ones or really busy pink ones with a million hearts and stars. Anyway, I can't figure out how to remove the date from the template (since I title my blogs as the date) so I just changed the title of each post. Kind of tedious but I couldn't stand having some posts be dates and others titles.

I went shopping today for interview clothes for Wednesday. It was kind of fun really. I was trying on blouses for a bit and then my mom brought over a pair of dress pants because dress pants were on sale. I looked at the tag and saw it was a size 12, my old size at about 180lbs. I tried them on and they were super baggy. To prove my point, I opened the change room door and showed my mom. She got super happy and then went and grabbed a size 10, which to her delight, still were too baggy. She did this happy dance thing and went and grabbed a size 8 which fit well but were a tad lose. I tried the 6 on but it was slightly tight and I decided to go with the 8. I cannot believe that I am almost a size 6! Hopefully by the end of this month I can make the size 6 pants fit like the 8. I'll be a normal size again! Also, I bought a blouse that was a size medium instead of large or extra-large. It was such an achievement! I mentioned this before, but my mom is a tiny little woman. She's 105lbs and 5"2. And she always has to comment on my weight. For once, it felt so good for her to be proud of my weight. She's still going on about how I'm almost a size 6 again. It's fantastic. I couldn't be happier, although I still have a lot to go. It's really hard having a mom whose so small when I'm so big. Before my mom had me she only weighed 95lbs. So not only do I have to deal with being super fat, I get blamed for my mom being 10lbs heavier than she was before she has me. Which is ridiculous because a) she was 25 when she had me, and she definitely isn't anymore and b) it's her fault she gained the weight, not me. I had absolutely nothing to do with it. It's not like I asked to be born.

So I have new dress pants, a beautiful dark blue blouse and a cute dark grey blazer. It'll be perfect for my interview. And the best part? My mom paid for everything because I lost weight. Could there be a better motivation than a happy mom and new clothes? I doubt it.

That's about it. I'm not back to school yet because I have the interview on Wednesday. I'm such skipper. I'm missing three days of classes.

Take care everyone and good luck!
