In celebration of reaching my first big weight loss goal, I went a little crazy clothes shopping this weekend...spending much more than I should have and buying things like a really cute suit that, right now, I really have no need for, but I just couldn't resist. And buying it made me feel like it just might bring me some luck in the job hunt. Fingers crossed!

I also spent yesterday afternoon going through my closet and getting rid of my fat clothes. The stack of jeans and pants alone was about 2 feet tall! I texted a picture of it to my mom, sister and sister-in-law to get a little positive feedback for my efforts (which was wonderful) and also to make myself to be continually accountable to them, since they are all doing the same thing. The best part of going through the closet, however, was finding a whole bunch of things I completely forgot I had...a lot of which I had never even worn because it was just a little too tight when I bought it, and now fits wonderfully! In fact, I am wearing the cutest little black top today that had been hidden for over a year...it's like going shopping in your own house for free! (Actually, if I'd done the closet cleaning on Saturday before going shopping, I might not have gone shopping at all and saved myself a lot of money...but what the hell! I deserve it!)
