I am just not very good....
At being a girl!
It's a Holiday weekend here in and in the States Holidays mean 2 things - eating too much and GREAT sales!
I have no need to worry about the first one - I've got the eating thing "down cold" now! However since the training and eats ARE going so well for me - my clothes are getting a little baggy. If I have to buy new stuff - might as well try and save a couple of dollars in the process - right? Plus I still haven't hit 1,000 miles on my new car - and it's been 7 weeks now - so I need to drive! Windows down - tunes blastin' - life is good!
Then I got to the mall. Kerry, I was thinking of you ALL afternoon! I could NOT for the life of me find anything I liked/wanted/needed. Well, I can't say that - there was plenty that I liked - but I HATE trying things on, so I couldn't decide what size to buy! I know what I wear now, and I know they're too big. But a 2 at Gap and a 2 at Macy's and a 2 at Forever 21 are all REALLY different 2's!
So I left the mall with only Sue's "fix" and my new computer speakers, and came back to Heaven. I have work to do anyways, figured I'd get it done.
But it was sunny, the wind was blowing, and my pants were annoying me as I sat here. Off to mall 2! Under the pressure of the "clock" I purchased 1 pair of pants, 3 tank tops, and 2 shirts. Will they fit? Who knows - haven't tried them on yet.
Speaking of decisions - maybe you guys can sway me on this one. When I moved out of the house in December I stopped taking "The Pill". I had been on it for .........a LONG time. And since I'm not "involved" with anyone right now I figured now was a perfect time to take a break from the hormones.
Since giving it up, I feel great! No withdrawal, no moodiness, no cravings, no bloat, no problems. Yet every month I go and get my perscription refilled. I now have 5 months worth in my kitchen cupboard. Why? Why do I keep paying my $5 copay and picking up these little guys to "store" them? When will I ever need 5 months worth?
Yet it's been 4 weeks - it's time to pick up the next batch - and I'm fighting the urge to do so.
Please - slap some sense into me. Please!
Until tomorrow this quote about sums it up!

Michelle, I really hate trying things on too but I have to. Shopping isn't really fun is it. I think you have to be a natural shopper to do it well. I'd rather shop for kitchen gadgets than clothes. Shoes,yes, maybe, no definitely, but I avoid shoe shops. I always buy black shoes.
How much smaller than 2 can you go?
I bought a size 6 in the states once and I thought i would cleverly bring it home and brag. I wasn't game enough to tell people it was a 6 because it was way bigger than any 6 you might find here.
Just stop paying for the pills. Think of the vegies you could have had instead with that money.

Not to worry Kerry! As you learned first hand much like everything else here most sizes run big compared to other places. A size 2 really doesn't mean much - it's just another number.
Our clothes will start at "00", then "0", "1", "2", etc.
Which is why shopping is such a pain! Even 2 pairs of pants that are labelled the same size - if you hold them up together - are NOT the same.
