I was late to work today ...

only about 5 minutes but I'm aggravated rushing around and then I realized .... what am I stressing about??!! I was running late because I had to find a whole new outfit to wear ASAP because the one I picked out was way too big! The size 12 jacket (I've worn size 12 forever) looked like I was a little kid wearing his father's jacket or something... baggy, ridiculous, the pants were big too and I just bought them in the fall...at first I was like damn! then I thought...hello...

Oh the agony of it all -- I have to have some pants tailored because I don't want to get rid of them, & I am asking for gift certificates for my birthday next month because I need to go shopping for new clothes! ;D

That is great! Isn't it funny what stresses us out. I have just made it into a size 10 as well and it feels great. I went and bought a ton of slacks all in size 10 so I am going to HAVE to stay at goal or none of my clothes will fit.

The jacket (in wool, camel color, and I have the same jacket in 5 other colors! ) was size 12 but the pants were size 10!...I can't be a size 8 yet! Can I?...(dare I say it...dare I try on some 8's in the store soon?..)

I'll say it again, clothes sizes for women suck, so inconsistent. I have 10's from years ago that I couldn't get into, now they fit. I bought new size 10 slacks this past fall, now they're too big. Go figure!

Again, why am I complaining ... I don't know what size I am but I must be smaller!

What a great NSV, beeing late for work because of too big clothes. Just remember that when you replace the too big with proper fit to get rid of the too big. Congratulations.
