A Size Smaller?

Since a few tops that I haven't worn in "forever" are fitting me again I decided to try on some new capris that were too tight when I received them for my birthday in July. They are a size 18w and they are fitting better now. I think I can actually wear them out in public!!!

I haven't worn an 18w in over a year, so I'm very pleased with this little bit of good news. I never took measurements at the beginning, so I only track my weight. Seeing that some smaller clothes are fitting me shows me that even though the scale hasn't moved too much inches are definitely coming off also. I guess that's where walking has made a big difference in my body.

Oh.... I also bought a size 18wp top the other day at Marshall's to go with a skirt I received for my birthday. I figured that in another 5-10 pounds it would fit me well and I wasn't going to pass it up because it was a WP(which you rarely find at these types of stores) -- that means it was a petite, which I need in button-up shirts. And it fit so perfect!!! Being 5' 4" puts me at the top of the "petite" range, so petite pants are usually shorter than I like. However, petite blouses or dresses are always perfect for me. Not only was I excited that it was a size smaller, but that it was a petite that fit me perfectly.

Hooray!! Here's to more walking and healthier food choices and to seeing the scale go down slowly but surely.

p.s. My mom called when I was trying on the capris and when I told her about my loss she says to me, "Little by little, We whittle and whittle... until we are little!!" I laughed and told her I was going to hang that up somewhere in my house. :) She's so sweet and supportive!
