Pleasant surprises.

I went shopping this weekend and took a pair of shorts off the rack, certain they were my size, only to find out when I got home they were two sizes smaller than what I normally wear. I do this a lot ever since I became ill. I misread things, and I don't find out until after the fact that I read them wrong. Like, say, Pepsi labels.

Anyway, I was bummed, but I figured I'd keep the shorts for when I got thinner, since I'm trying to lose weight. Then I decided to at least try them on, so I could see how much further I have to go before they'll fit.

They fit perfectly. Somewhere along the way, I've dropped two sizes. I don't feel thinner. I don't think I look thinner, but I'm wearing two sizes down from what I thought I should.

Of course, knowing my luck, the shorts were just mis-labeled and I'm getting all excited over nothing.

So that's my pleasant surprise. Anyone have anything good happen to them lately?

I have cousins in the US who shop like maniacs....and they clean out their closets about 4 times a year and send shit to their poor relations here in Canada, and it's still brand new. They have always been thinner than me, so I could only ever scoop shirts and such. This last time, there were shorts, pants and skirts in the boxes....I was looking at them, and thought "Ahh, what the hell, lets try it" and they fit! It was so nice to finally recognize that I had lost that much weight!

I returned from An alcoholics anonymous meeting this afternoon to find an e-mail from a former pupil who has made millions selling alcopops inviting me to a 24 hour drinks party. He credits me with introducing him to alcohol -as well as wheeler-dealing.
The party is a pleasant surprise.

It's nice to have that physical affirmation. Being me, I don't notice those gradual changes, and the people who see me every day don't notice either. Since I wear clothes that are too big for me, even people who don't see me all that often don't notice, because I'm buried beneath layers of cloth.

My sister in law talked me into buying a new dress for the wedding I went to last weekend, and when I stepped out of the dressing room, Mr. N just looked stunned. It actually fit as opposed to hanging off me like a burlap sack, like most of my dresses.

I generally don't like shopping, but my attitude could very well change if this keeps up.

Mine charged me twice in one month so now they are sending me a cheque, and on the invoice I noticed that they have me down as dial up, charging me $20 per month less than what I pay, so my cheque is about $45 more than it's supposed to be!! Be interesting to see if they only charge me $22.95 instead of $43 per motnh from now on.
