A HUGE, HUGE Milestone!!

I am still in disbelief, still in shock, and even in a little denial.

Yesterday was the best day EVER for me! Something happened that I almost gave up on ever happening. Something that is making me pinch myself repeatedly to make sure it really did happen.

I went out to get a pair of capris for our trip to California. I didn't know what kind I wanted, so I grabbed a ton to see the different styles. I took 9 pair of size 12's (my size for 3 1/2 years now) in the dressing room. Each time I put a pair on, I noticed they just kinda felt sloppy or something - but I couldn't quite put my finger on why or what was going on. Each time, I would show Chip, and then go to the next one. Well, it was about the 6th pair that Chip noticed that there was enough room in every pair to put a small child's fist in the waist. - He went and got me a size 10. It never even entered my mind to try a 10 - EVER!! I thought he was crazy, but he basically told me to hush up and just try.

AND TO MY TOTAL SURPRISE - THEY FIT! THEY FRIGGIN FIT!!!

At first, I was convinced that it was only that particular brand. But sure enough, the next 6 pair of size 10's - all different brands - fit me perfectly. SIZE TEN FRIENDS!!!!!

I must have looked at the tag 87 times just to see that glorious number.

I cannot begin to explain the feelings I had when I pushed the 12's aside on the rack to pick out a 10. It was actually quite bizarre but of course mostly absolutely wonderful and unbelievable.

Now, my goal of a single digit size is more in sight. Now it seems more attainable. But for now, I will enjoy my 10's.

Chip has always told me I am a "10". :)

Finally, I can say, "You bet I am!!"
